combo box not showing items

Question

I'm currently running vb .net 2003 on XP sp 2. I have a simple list of items defined for the combo box but when i run my app, although the box drops down, it is empty. If i use my mouse to click one of the "blank rows" in the box, the appropriate value displays in the text box above! How do i get the items to display in the drop down box. I didn't have this issue in vb 6.0. HELP!!

Answer 1

apparently the answer is the virus scanner and its "Buffer Overflow" protection. Turning this off fixed the problem for me.

Answer 2

I'm having the same problem, but with C#, using XP SP2 and SharpDeveloper. I've been using VS.NET 2003 for quite a while with C#, and I haven't come across this problem before... don't have a clue what's causing it.
