  I have a problem with a bindindingSource very similar to the problem reported here but I've tried the solution outlined (explicitly setting the bindingSource's DataSource before the call to Find) but it doesn't help me (the DataSources for my BindingSources are correct) - so there's no chance for the DataSources to get set incorrectly. My situation is slightly different because I'm adding the BindingSources from the toolbox (not by ...Show All

During a stage in the application, the form that contains the user control (form A, just say) is hidden when another form (form B) appears, and it can be re-dislayed by closing the ...Show All
