[dba-VB] AfterUpdate equivalent

As Gustav pointed out, the closest you come in .Net is the Validated
event, with Validating being a cose runnerup for BeforeUpdate.  They
aren't entirely analogous, but they're way more consistent.  You can
also customize the program flow more in .Net by using threading, like
this:

                If Not bValid Then Me.BeginInvoke(New
Threading.ThreadStart(AddressOf SelectRunDateTime))  

The above line is in a custom validation routine called from a grid cell
event.  The thread executes after the calling routine ends but before
program flow returns to the grid.

Subject: [dba-VB] AfterUpdate equivalent

Hello All:

I'm grinding my way through my first VB.Net program.  One of the (many)
surprises I've had is the lack of AfterUpdate events for controls, in
particular, for a text box.  Can the  LostFocus event be used safely as
an equivalent?


Thanks,
Doug Steele
