Slow combo loading time with wight number of elements

[Michele]

Hello,
I need to load a large number of items inside3 different combobox (consider a class of type ID,Name,Country), for now the items are 9000 but will grow up shortly, I need to have them in a dropdown and enabling text-search on them... I got slow loading problem when binding more then 3000 items.... I supposed it should have a similar behavior like the gridview...

can anyone tell me if it's possible to have an async load?

I bind them as :

  cbClient.ItemsSource = m_listaClienti.Take(5000);

Thanks in advance

Paolo
