Debug assertion failed! MFC Application Visual studio 2015 c++

[r_VS2015]

I am new to visual studio and I want to create a simple mfc application with a combo box selection.

It was working till yesterday and I was just wondering how to display the string. But today I have got this problem which says



Debug Assertion failed!

Program:
...Root\MFCApp\MFCApplicationTest2\Debug\MFCApplicationTest2.exe
File:f:\dd\vctools\cv7libs\shop\atlmfc\include\afxwin2.inl
Line: 795

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

(Please retry to debug the application)



And when I click retry I get this,

MFCApplicationTest2.exe has triggered a breakpoint.



breaking this takes me to this line of assertion failure,


{ ASSERT:IsWindow(m_hWnd)); return (int)::SendMessage(m_hWnd, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)lpszString); }



I checked this post which is related to my question on the topic on this forum,

MFX CComboBox assert error doing AddString



and I noticed that I haven't made that mistake. But then if I keep retrying and hit continue it takes me to the output.


I am not sure what the problem is. Please do help.
