Hello,
The example below can be copied and pasted into a new file.

this.MyData.DataBind();
if (CB1.Items.Count > 0)

lblFirstItem.Text = "CB1.Items.Count is empty!";

</ext:Store>
Not Editable:
<ext:ComboBox runat="server" ID="CB1" AutoPostBack="true"
StoreID="MyData"
Editable="false"
DisplayField="state"
ValueField="abbr"
TypeAhead="true"
Mode="Local"
ForceSelection="true"
TriggerAction="All"
EmptyText="Select a state..."
Selectonfocus="true">
</ext:ComboBox>
<asp:Label ID="lblFirstItem" runat="server" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The message is always display "CB1.Items.Count is empty!".
Wouldn't the .Items of the ComboBox be attached to the Store object? Or is the Store only initiating the values on postback?
Confused.
