ComboBox needs help

Hello all
I created a combo box with some values: "First name" and "Last name". I add
those values by using Data/Databinding/Items in the form. However, when I
run the application, the "First name" is not appeared in the form. I have to
click on the Combobox to get that value. What I want is that when I run the
application, the "First name" value should be appeared. Could you please
help
Thank you

In the generated code (Windows Form Designer generated code), I have:

Me.ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(New Object() {"First name", "Last name"})
Me.ComboBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(120, 16)

Me.ComboBox1.Name = "ComboBox1"

Me.ComboBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(100, 23)

Me.ComboBox1.TabIndex = 2

What do you mean with this sentence

> Me.ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(New Object() {"First name", "Last name"})

This set the first in your textbox to "First name" and the second item to
"Last Name" (When there is no databinding)

The rest of the instructions have not to do with the filling of the
combobox, so you make me curious what you want to achieve?
