OK, whats the best event to trap in this situation:

1. dataBound controls to strongly typed dataset
2. comboBox on a Tab Control
3. Populate values on another Tab Page based on the selection from step 2.

If I select a value from the comboBox and try to populate those values to 
another Tab Page, I don't see the changes until I repeatedly select the 
comboBox and tab out of it.  What if the user simply changes a value and 
doesn't move out of the control?

The SelectedIndexChanged event fires when the form opens, and other events I 
have tried only fire when the user tabs out of the control.  There must be 
an easy way to handle this simple situation?
Should I be doing a refresh or something?

Thanks for your assistance

You can use a flag to indicate the form is loading and check
this in the selectedIndexChanged event.
