Steve,

I can see some descriptions under "Event Handling in Windows Forms" , but since I have been working exclusively with web forms I cannot give you an exact sequence.

Malvern's just up the road off of 202 for the next meeting on Nov. 20 at the Microsoft office. I sent 2 people to the last meeting and they said it was pretty informative, around 60 people attended.

>>The old LISA G event model. Have you gone to any of the www.PhillyDotNet.org meetings? Might be a good presentation for a future meeting once you discover it.

>>>What events/methods are executed/called on a standard winform with any
>>>number of controls? If this was VFP7, I would say the event model
>>>followed:
>>> Form.Load
>>> FirstControl.Load
>>> FirstControl.Init
>>> SecondControl.Load
>>> SecondControl.Init
>>> etc
>>> Form.Init
>>> Form.Show
>>> Form.Activate
>>> Form.Refresh
>>> FirstControl.Activate
>>> FirstControl.Refresh
>>> etc
>>> Form.GotFocus
>>>And then the "read events" cycle begins.
>>>
>>>What is the order for .NET? I need to do some connection work in a
>>>WinForm after the form loads but before the controls display and then
>>>again before the user is allowed to touch the form. In VFP7 I would
>>>stick appropriate code in the Form.Load and Form.Activate methods.

>>>Thanks!
