I got the stack trace below reported from a customer. I don't know how to reproduce this. My WPF application has a fair number of ComboBoxes; I'm not sure how to determine which ComboBox failed given the stack trace below. Has anyone else seen this? Can you interpret what was going on from this stack trace? Any ideas?
