Populate combo box in datagridview for new rows

I have this code which i am using to populate a combo box in a datagridview

Dim dgvcc As DataGridViewComboBoxCell
dgvcc = DataGridView2.Rows(0).Cells(2)
dgvcc.Items.Add("comboitem1")
dgvcc.Items.Add("comboitem2")

it works fine but when a new row is added to the datagridview the combo box is not popuated with the data - i want it to be populated with the same data for every row

Instead of assigning the selections to an individual DataGridViewComboBoxCell (which would be only for that specific cell), assign the selections to the entire DataGridViewComboBoxColumn instead. Doing this will mean every cell in the column will share the same selection options.

With DirectCast(DataGridView2.Columns(2), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn)
    .Items.Add("comboitem1")
    .Items.Add("comboitem2")
End With

Note that I am assuming column 2 is your combo box column since that is what is used in your snippet.
