add new combo item to the list as per user keyin

I am having a list of items in combo box. in runtime if user feels to add new item to combo list he should be allowed to do the same just by typing new item in combo box typing area

That's not how a combo box works. You could provide a textbox and an ADD button to do that though.

Actually you can do that all you need is a button(to signify when the typing is done) and a handler for its click event:

Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
    If ComboBox1.Text <> "" AndAlso Not ComboBox1.Items.Contains(ComboBox1.Text) Then
        ComboBox1.Items.Add(ComboBox1.Text)
        ComboBox1.ResetText()
    End If
End Sub

Or you can do it with ComboBox1's LostFocus Event
