A global array of color names is created. In form load, a loop, adds the colors to combo box.

Start a new applicatation and add a combo box. Name it cboColor and write the code as shown below:

namespace colors
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        string[] myColors = { "red", "yellow", "blue", "white" };
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Add each color to the combo box
            for(int i=0;i<myColors.Length;i++)
            {
                cboColor.Items.Add(myColors[i]);
            }
            // Make the first color (red) be selected.
            cboColor.SelectedIndex = 0;
        }
    }
}

That's all! Congratulations on completing all of the lessons in csharp!
