Sure, some of us have learned that you don't put form behavior in buttons, but it does work there for the most part and, eventually, you learn better architectures.

John,

I still stand on my original comment that the form wizard is a very bad tool for learning. What is produces is very complex and difficult to understand. There is little or not documentation for the classes it uses. It tends to be used by the very people who are least able to understand what it does.
