I have two different tables in a mysql database.
C#
table1       table2

option1      displaysthis1
option2      displaysthis2
option3      displaysthis3


If i choose option1 on combobox1 it should displaythis1 on comboxbo2 as an option. how could i do it?
This is how i filled the first combobox..
C#
void Fillcombo() {
            string newcontact = "datasource=localhost;port=3306;username=root;password=password";
            string Query = "select * from database.clients ;";

            MySqlConnection addcon = new MySqlConnection(newcontact);
            MySqlCommand cmdDataBase = new MySqlCommand(Query, addcon);
            MySqlDataReader myReader;

            try
            {
                addcon.Open();
                myReader = cmdDataBase.ExecuteReader();
           
                
                while (myReader.Read())
                {
                    string sName = myReader.GetString("company");
                    comboBox1.Items.Add(sName);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }

At first, fill the first combobox with data and then on selected index change of the first combobox fill the second one.

It it does not have data, there is no a problem (nothing should happen, so the problem is solved). This answer is correct, follow the advice.
If something is not clear, ask a question, but a sensible one.

By filter you mean selecting the value? Use SelectedValue and use the selected value to load the second ComboBox with values matching that value. You database design is important to achieve this... How is your table design? Whats the fields?
