>>>I think I see now. I was following your message from several days ago where you indicated where to place the LoadData() method. And I completely misunderstood your message. You wrote to place it as following:
>>>

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

>>>Now I see that what you meant was to create this method (above) in code in the form class and have it call the OnLoad(), right?

>>Yep (I updated my message to suggest this but I guess you'd already read it) WIthin the form itself it's probably better to override the OnLoad() method in this way rather then to hook up the Load event which is what you are doing via the property sheet - if you use this approach and look in the Form.Designer.cs file you will see it has generated the hook :

this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);

>Yes, you are right, of course. Now I need to un-hook the method in the .Designer.cs. Do I need to delete the code in the class code and then manually delete it from the .Designer.cs as well? or there is a better way in VS 2005?

I think just clearing the value in the property window should get rid of both the hook in the Form.Designer.cs and the handling stub in the Form.cs. If it doesn't just delete them manually.....
