I see this come up a LOT. I'm very surprised that when you do a search on Google or through Bytes that you don't find a dozen questions just like it over the last few weeks or months. Just because the answer is a couple months old doesn't make it any less valid.

Just react to the "SelectedIndexC hanged" event of the first combo box. If the selected index is -1, then no item is selected. zero or greater is the index of the Items array. One way to handle it could be to create a Switch...Case construct.

		private void cbFirstComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			switch (((ComboBox)sender).SelectedItem as string)
			{
				case "United States":
					cbSecondComboBox.SelectedIndex = 1;
					break;
				case "Russia":
					cbSecondComboBox.SelectedIndex = 2;
					break;
			}
