Noticed that when I use firstNameText.Text = "" and then write the value of that text property to the debug output, it shows that it's changing. The property changes to an empty string, but the autocompletetextbox still shows the name that I entered previously.

I have the same problems. Any update done from vm seems to be ignored in the text field of AutoCompleteTextBox. Any update?
