Answer 1

Not sure if this is what you want; see ComboBox class, to add items to combo box programmatically.

Assuming that you have two combo boxes for hours(cbxHours) and minutes(cbxMinutes), you can call SetHours(), and SetMinutes() to populate your combos.

void SetHours()
{ 
   for (int i = 0; i < 2400; i+=100) {cbxHours.Items.Add(string.Format("{0:0###}", i));}
}

void SetMinutes()
{
   for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++) { cbxMinutes.Items.Add(string.Format("{0:0#}", i)); }
}

Answer 2

you can do it simply by the following code :

comboBox1.DataSource= Enumerable.Range(1, 12).ToList();
comboBox2.DataSource = Enumerable.Range(1, 60).ToList();
