[RESOLVED] Form_Load not firing
I am bringing a VB6 app to C# 2008. It is a pretty simple app, that it why I chose it. It only has 3 forms. Going back and forth between the screens works fine. I am trying to process some database code on the form_load event of one of the forms. I stepped through it ans the form_Load does not fire. I changed the name to form_Activate. That does not fire either.
This is the code from the sending screen (I am going to frmLog).
Code:
namespace Time_Clock
{
public partial class frmSystem : Form
{
public frmSystem()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application.Exit();
}
private void btnIO_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
frmMain main = new frmMain();
main.Show();
}
private void btnStatus_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
frmLog log = new frmLog();
log.Show();
}
}
}
This is the code on the receiving form (I am only including the form loading stuff)
Code:
namespace Time_Clock
{
public partial class frmLog : Form
{
public frmLog()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public void FrmLog_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlDataReader rdr = null;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=PRIMERO;Initial Catalog=Techni;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=pacjo");
SqlCommand sqlEmp = conn.CreateCommand();
sqlEmp.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Empfile ORDER BY Empnum";
// open the connection
conn.Open();
MessageBox.Show("database open");
// get an instance of the SqlDataReader
rdr = sqlEmp.ExecuteReader();
while (rdr.Read())
{
string employee = (string)rdr["EMPNUM"];
TS1.Text = (employee);
}
// close the reader and connection
rdr.Close();
conn.Close();
}
Why does this code not fire at all? In VB it would be quite simple. I'm sure it is simple here, as well.
