Declare Combobox Collection????

How can I declare a "collection" for a combobox?

Example:
Dim JobsCollection As String = Handwork,Routing,Engineering,CADCAM

Only reason I ask, if because I have two comboboxes on my Windows App form. I will need to fill combobox2 based on the value of what combobox1 is

Oh, I forgot to mention.

Allong with that, here is what I am trying to achieve:

If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = "Jobs" Then
ComboBox2.Collection = STRING

What do you mean by collection because you can just do this

Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
ComboBox2.Items.Add(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub

RonaldBiemans

the above code will add the item you have selected in combobox1 to combobox2
or if you only want to add after the user pressed on ok button, then just put that code in the button click event

Here is what I am trying to achieve more in detail.

If user chooses "Part" in Combo1 then Combo2 fills with:
Raw Material
Dies
IT Equipment
Machining Equipment

If user chooses "Customer" in Combo1 then Combo2 fills with:
Stanley
Black and Decker
J&L Tooling
Snap-On

And so on
