In which method are you setting the Visible property to true?
I can recreate the problem if the form is not yet visible (the comboBox is inheriting the overall visibility of the form)

its a private sub i am calling it on form load event

Do you have code in the form load event that is setting the Visible property of the Form to false before calling that private sub, and then setting the Form.Visible property to True after the call?

Strange. I can reproduce your problem but only if I've set the Form.Visible to false. I'm fairly sure it's just a timing thing (i.e. the form isn't physically visible at that point so the comboBox isn't either) but I'd like to be absolutely sure.
If you single-step out of that private sub back to the Form_Load event and check the value there, does it change to True?
