combobox not displaying text

[vanea]

Hy.

I have a little problem with a comboBox on my form, and i want to ask if anyone could help me. I'm writing a DB application and i am populating my comboBoxes with an ArrayList object and a DataReader object, like this:

dataReader = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dataReader.Read())
{
    arrList.Add(dataReader["clientName"]);
}
clientComboBox.DataSource=arrList;
dataReader.Close();
dataReader = null;
arrList.RemoveRange(0, arrList.Count);
 

My problem is this: the first time i select an option from the comboBox, the selected text is not displayed, but after that, it work fine. How can i fix this?

Thank you.

Are you setting which value should be initially selected?
Because it does not look like it.
