Nah latest .net, VS 2015.Seems weird. I'm not sure why that happens maybe you have old VS/.NET or something?
I can't for the life of me figure out the issue at all...
As you can see in the pic below it DOES seem to load the titles (going by the scroll bar in the listview changing size and the count label) but they don't actually appear in the list. It is really strange.
Doesn't matter if it's running through VS or alone from the folder.
