Please Help: Populate Combo box from text file

Hi All,

I have just started learning C# and would like to populate a combo box with the list of games defined in gameslist.txt file.

below is the format of gameslist.txt file
[category 1]
game 1
game 2
game 3
game 4

[category 2]
game 5
game 6
game 7

[catergory 3]
game 8
game 9
In my GUI Application, I have 2 combo boxes, first combo box will have the category list like [category 1 / category2/ category 3...] and now in the second combo box i should populate only list of games for the particular category selected from the first combo box like [ game1/game2/game3.....].

            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"d:\test.txt"))
            {
                string data = "";
                data = reader.ReadLine();
                comboBox1.Items.Add(data);
                data = reader.ReadLine();
                comboBox1.Items.Add(data);
                data = reader.ReadLine();
                comboBox1.Items.Add(data);
