ComboBox problem

Hello!

I have the following problem:
I've a combobox in a windows form (DropDown style). Now it happens that the
C# property ComboBox.Text returns an empty string although there is a string
on the screen. Even if I set the property to an empty string the string on
the form does not disappear. If a assign any other string to the Text
property it still returns an empty string.

Currently it seems to happen only on Windows 2000 Professional platforms
(but not on all Windows 2000 platforms). Framework is 1.1

Maybe someone can help!

Alexander,

The MS Tech support rep I've been working with suggests that you contact
Microsoft Developer Support. If the behavior you've encounterd is related
to the behavior illustrated in my example, then it's been identified as a
bug and she said you won't be charged for contacting them about the issue.

Hope this helps.
