Re: Refreshing a Windows Form

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

What you really need to do is call a method in the parent form that refresh
the info displayed in the controls,

refreshing the form is only repaint it, each control repaint itself using
the data they contains.

If the info that they need to display changed, you will have to update them,
then they will repaint itself alone :)

Create a method ( you probably have one already ) that will assign the info
read from the webservice to the control, you have to call this method when
the second form closes.


cheers,
