List of possible combinations

I am trying to write some vb.net code that will list all possible combnations of a lst of words.

Currently, I'm interested in the non repeating combination of 4 words "brand", "kind", "size" and "weight".  order is not important.

for example,

I would like to see

brand
brand,kind
brand,kind,size
brand,kind,size,weight

etc

by non repeating I mean for example that
if brand,kind is listed i do not want to see kind,brand

Any ideas???

None repeating is easy:

Load them into an array.

Loop through the array, appending the next word in.

Ex:

            Dim x As String() = "r,t".Split(",")

            Dim s As String
            s = ""
            For i As Integer = 0 To x.Length
                s = s + x(i)
                'output S
            Next
