This question has been asked here before, but the author wasn't very clear and got no answers (1st ref). Why aren't my combobox items displaying correctly? It is almost like they are there, but not connected to the combobox (notice my label, it shows up halfway down the page instead of right underneath the combobox when I run it). I get no errors on the page, which is good (different than when I tried doing this in VS2005), and the combobox displays fine, but when I click it, nothing is there.
