Solution 1

The simplest, but not too elegant way is to make the combobox on form2 public. Look for the "Modifiers" property in the editor, design folder. But be aware that you can access it only if a form of that class is actually instantiated.

The more elegant way is to create a model, and bind the same value to both combo boxes.
