Populate Drop Down in MFC

Question

I am trying populate a combo box in MFC application with no luck, I have tried all the methods available on internet but none seems to work for me, if I try to enter the values using data option in property windows like "value 1; value 2" only value 2 displays in combo box, if I try to add it using

comboxbox.AddString("value 1");

I get

left side of AddString must have class/union/struct.

I am using Visual Studio 2008.
