>>Where do you recommend to make a call to initialize BIZ (typed data set), fill it, and bind controls to the Binding Source? I am reading a book where the examples they have are always in method OnFormLoad. In my tests I use method of the same name as the form class (do I understand correctly that this is equivalent to INIT of VFP?). What is better, OnFormLoad or INIT?

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
>{
>       LoadData()
>       base.OnLoad(e);
>}

You could swap the two statements around - but be aware of the subtle difference since any active Load event handlers will be called by the base.OnLoad(e) line and whether your data will be available at that point will depend on the order of those two statements.....

Thank you for clarifying the INIT and Constructor question.

And thank you for the suggestion to use OnLoad method. The book I am reading has method names OnFormLoad but the author could have simply decided to change the name of the default method (it is possible, right?).

As to your third point to the order of calling LoadData() and base.OnLoad(e), could you please clarify something? If the form is based on the default Win Form why do you need to call base.OnLoad(e)? Is it like DODEFAULT() in VFP?
