In the first window there is a combobox named fruits; there is a linkLabel from which i can open a new Fruits window and enter new fruits name. But after closing that Fruits window the newly added fruits are not displayed in the main form combo box, though if i close the form and open it again i can get the names. But i want to display fruit name in the combobox of the main window as soon as i close the fruit window.

Please help me to solve this.
Thanks in advance.

U Should create a function where u will add item to ComboBox,Now on Fruits windows after inserting new fruit name,In my opinion u r using add/ok/submit button to add new fruit name.On that button click event call ur comoboBox add function,so after every record added by u ,this function will be call and bcoz in that function u have written the functionality to add fruit name to comboBox so it will update,every time when a fruit name will insert.

Suppose:
Window1 contains ComboBox
Window2 contains SubmitButton (Where u r adding fruit name)
So create function to add item to comboBox, By defining public on window1
now on Window2:
create a object of window1 like->
Window1 objWindow1=new Window1();
Now on submitButton_Click Event call like below
//now call ur comboBox add functionality through object
objWindow1.UrComboBoxAdd_FunctionName();

try it and give me feedback.
