I tried forcing a garbage collection and it didn't work (I know, it's bad, but I'm trying everything). Watching it run via depends.exe, I see all my other 3rd-party COM DLLs unload ...Show All

• Visual Basic Binding Navigator Next Item

  I have a jobs database and am using data binding navigator in detail view. When the user hits the 'next' key, I want to check to see if one of the fields has a date in it.
