binding not working on computer (surface pro 2)

[Robert]

       we are using a telerik autocomplete box.  Now, the code pasted below works on ALL computers except my surface pro 2.  any reason you know of?

Interestingly, this used to work on my machine because I approved the developers update.

The problem is that even though the "SelectedServices" is being populated, the control on the UI is not getting it.  and the control on the UI is not sending down the data either.

I can post any more info you guys need to help trace this.  But again, code works on all computers except surface pro 2 with windows 8.1

Hi Robert,

This is really strange and at the same time interesting issue and we would like to get to the bottom of it. So first we need to make sure that we have the right project in which the issue can be reproduced. Therefore I have created a project where I have tried to get as close as i can to your scenario and it would be great if you can check it out and let us know if the issue can be reproduce in it.

Please note, that right now we cannot get our hands on Surface pro 2 in order to test the issue, but I hope soon we will be able to.

Meanwhile it would be great if you can let us know what versions of the Operating System and .Net are installed on the tested machines as well as if they have any touch monitor (like the Surface pro 2).


Regards,
Georgi

interestingly, I upgrade the wpf controls to recent version and uninstalled older versions.  (regular windows update in the iterim), and lo and behold, the controls began working again.

i don't plan on doing any more investigation or analysis at this point. 

thanks for the help!
