re one : CustomerOrdersForm.cs appears in the solution explorer - i.e. I *think* they are in the same project. Is there something else I should be looking for regarding that?
re two : MainAppForm has the same using statements as in Kevin's
both of the forms begin with
namespace HW.NetBook.Samples
I guess this is what I find confusing re namespaces. Are they like classlibs? It seems classes defined under the namespace statement become part of that namespace. They are then available in other forms etc. if you begin with a using statement referencing that namespace. But this would make it seem that both of these forms are defining classes which are part of the HW.NetBook.Samples namespace
I think there is a conceptual thing here re namespaces that is preventing me from spotting what I am boneheadedly doing wrong in the code (amazing how the critical debugging eye fails when you really don't know what you are looking for . I feel like I am proofreading Ukranian free-verse < g > )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
