To answer your first question. A note on page 7 of Nick Symmonds fine book
_Data Entry and Validation with C# and VB.NET Windows Forms_ (APress 2003)
states:
" Be careful about how many items you have in your ComboBox. The .NET help
file states that the maximum is 100..."
I don't know if that's true as I'm only using ComboBox's for small lookup
lists and 100 doesn't seem to be very many to me.
Working with Windows Forms for Database front ends does seem a little rough
around the edges (and somewhat incomplete at this stage) but the exciting
and interesting thing in all this is that the architecture is extremely
extensible and there always seems to be a workaround possible for even the
thorniest problems. You are definitely not limited to the functionality
implemented out-of-the-box by Microsoft. And In my view this is much more
exciting and powerful than VB ever was. -- Graham.
