Refreshing a Windows Form

This a pocket pc/smartphone questions mainly, but i thought i'd ask the
question in the C# newsgroup. I have a form which i use to display
information from a web service. From this form i open another Form. On
this form i update the webservice which in turn updates the information
displayed on the previous form. When i close this form, I wish to refresh
the previous Form to show the new modified data.

How can i do this?

Is there a way to refresh the form every time it gains focus ?

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,

I've been searching, but apparently not phrasing my search right, so I'm going to float a question out here in the meantime... I'm wondering how to go about refreshing the content of a control (say, a selector) without refreshing the page. For example, if I have these selects: Company: <pick a company> Contact: <pick a contact> When they pick the company, I'd like to refill the contact selector based on

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
