Hello,

Working on my first SF Maintenance Form and have a couple BO's that are retrieving data just fine.

Now, I need to take the data contained within the BO's and load it into a 3rd party calendar control. Basically, I have to cycle through the data tables and create an object the calendar control can use for each data row. I'd love to be able to bind the calendar control directly to the BO's, but I'm not sure that's possible. All the sample code from the calendar vendor shows methods that take data and push it into collections of "appointment" objects, which the control then uses for it's data.

Also, since this is my first sample SF app, I'm trying to take the path of least resistance. So I'm just going with the vendor's examples for now.

BTW - the calendar control is the dbiMonth control from DBI Technologies. http://www.dbi-tech.com/

So, my question is, "What event should I use to load the data into the calendar control?"

I'm still a .NET WinForms newbie, but in VFP I would do this in the INIT event of the form since all the form controls would be available, but the form would not be visible yet. I have a working example of loading the data into the calendar control in the click of a button on the form, but I woud like to load the data before the form becomes visible.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Bill
