I am having an issue with graphical corruption upon re-selecting a
combobox which upon 'selected index change' event should list file
names in that folder in a separate combobox. Here is the code:

private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
      IniFile INI = new IniFile(@"c:\\data\TM.ini");

      string MisFileDir = INI.IniReadValue("Main", "MisFileDir");

      //MessageBox.Show(MisFileDir + @"\" + this.comboBox2.Text +
@"\");

      DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(MisFileDir + @"\" +
this.comboBox2.Text + @"\");

      FileInfo[] misfiles = dir.GetFiles();

      comboBox1.Items.Clear();

      comboBox1.BeginUpdate();

      foreach (FileInfo f in misfiles)
       {
          comboBox1.Items.Add(f.Name);
      }
      comboBox1.Update();
    }

As you can see, I'm using an INI file class that utilizes a
kernel32.dll function to read from the INI. (see this article -
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/cs_ini.asp?df=100&forumid=3467&exp=...)

This part works perfectly well. And upon the first selection of
comboBox2 , comboBox1 usually updates fine with a list of files in the
given folder.

The problem comes primarily when I select a different index in
comboBox2, the comboBox1 imagery corrupts. I can still see the indexes,
but the text of that comboBox is invisible or garbled. [yes i should
have used the opposite numbers for their names! sorry for confusion:)]

Question:
My question is, am I updating the comboBox1 items in the appropriate
order? What is the best way to clear a combobox and re-add items to it?

Here is an image of the corruption:

Thanks for any suggestions you may be able to provide.
