Just a guess, Einar ... but did you already have the DataSource set, then added a new item to the collection?

I added the collection to the watch window and could see that the new item was in there. I also wrote to the console all the items in the collection.

Then I set the old collection to equal the new collection and set the combobox' datasource to the old collection, in that case I did not have to set the datasource to null first.
