I was confused about something...I thought it was acting like VFP, in that when you click on an object in the form designer, it was bringing you into a method of that object. I now realize that the method it takes you to is a form event handler, and not a method of the grid. I am a .NET beginner so I did not know this.

Every day I learn one more little bit that will eventually get me me there.

>>In Foxpro we coud say "this.method_name()" or "this.property_name" to access a method or property within a control's own structure, but in C#, "this" means the entire parent class, not the current object who's method code is firing.

>In that case since the mmDataGridView1_CellContentClick() method belongs to the Form then 'this' refers to the form. In short 'this' always refers to the class in which it is contained (except in extension methods). I don't see how this (no pun intended) differs from VFP behaviour.
