How do I declare a single Object instance then reuse it in each ComboBox?

All these New Object()s are identical (and in fact, much longer!) How do I declare a single instance then reuse it in each ComboBox .Items.AddRange()? I am using Visual Studio 2008/Visual Basic.

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. verticalBarComboBox.Items.AddRange(New Object() {" single space", "- hyphen", " -  <single space>hyphen<single space>", "` open single quote", "=", "~", "!"})
  2.  backSlashComboBox.Items.AddRange(New Object() {" single space", "- hyphen", " -  <single space>hyphen<single space>", "` open single quote", "=", "~", "!"})
  3.  colonComboBox.Items.AddRange(New Object() {" single space", "- hyphen", " -  <single space>hyphen<single space>", "` open single quote", "=", "~", "!"})
  4.  quoteComboBox.Items.AddRange(New Object() {" single space", "- hyphen", " -  <single space>hyphen<single space>", "` open single quote", "=", "~", "!"})

Thanks!

declare simply array from object datatype then call AddRange for all combo boxes and pass this array!

As RamyMahrous said use an array. If you deceide to add or remove anything later you only need to do it in one place.
VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.     Dim ary As String() = {" single space", "- hyphen", " -  <single space>hyphen<single space>", "` open single quote", "=", "~", "!"}
  2.  
  3.     Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
  4.         verticalBarComboBox.Items.AddRange(ary)
  5.         backSlashComboBox.Items.AddRange(ary)
  6.         colonComboBox.Items.AddRange(ary)
  7.         quoteComboBox.Items.AddRange(ary)
  8.     End Sub

It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise its burial rates and blame it on the cost of living.

Thanks to both!

As this is my first VB project, I needed the code snippet.
