easy way to dynamically load dropdown boxes

im dynamically loading dropdown boxes on page.load

like this :
cbo1.Items.Add( "")
cbo1.Items.Add( "OT")
cbo1.Items.Add( "ST")
cbo1.Items.Add( "Ho")
cbo1.Items.Add( "FMLSK")
cbo1.Items.Add( "FMLOI")
cbo1.Items.Add( "FMLPE")
cbo1.Items.Add( "UFMLSK")
cbo1.Items.Add( "UFMLOI")
cbo1.Items.Add( "UFMLPE")
works fine. my only question is. currently i have 32 of these dropdown controls,cbo1 & cbo2 etc.(32 total)
eventually there'll be approx 5 or 10 times that many and they'll need to be populated accordingly.
is there an easier way to do this?
thanks
rik
