> MnuItem= new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();
> MnuItem.Text = comboBox1.Text;

MnuItem.Click += new EventHandler( method_name );

where

void method_name( object sender, EventArgs e )
{

Thanks I am able to get the click event working.One more question in this context
How will I reference the object name inside the click event,since I am creating the context menu dynamically
I cannot reference it using MnuItem.Text any more

System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem MnuItem
MnuItem= new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem()
MnuItem.Text = comboBox1.Text
cmFavorites.MenuItems.Add(cmFavorites.MenuItems.Count,MnuItem)
MnuItem.Click += new EventHandler( MnuItem_Click )

private void MnuItem_Click( object sender, EventArgs e

//How will I reference MnuItem.Text here.

Thanks for your help
Regards
Priy

For other who is looking for an answer ,here is how it can be done
private void MnuItem_Click( object sender, EventArgs e

            MenuItem mi = (MenuItem)sender
            MessageBox.Show(mi.Text)
