Daniel, try as I may, I can't get your code to work. I have one class,
which has a combobox. I can get the event to fire when the combobox
changes just fine, but I can't get it to "hear" the firing of the data
capture from the webservice in the other class.
So basically, in pseudocode, I need to do this:
class A{
make comboBox
make datagrid
when comboBox changes, use Class B
to get data from webservice
when webservice result received,
update datagrid with new data
}
class B{
connect to webservice
when requested, return data to requesting class
}
Reason I want these two classes to be separate is because I want other
classes to call Class B to get data as well. So, I can do all of those
things just fine, they are all working, except for the last part, "when
requested, return data to requesting class" - I figure since the
webservice is asynchronous, I need to capture the received event, which
is fine, I can do, that works. But I need to tell Class A to update the
datagrid with the new data when it gets it from Class B - so an event
model is required.
in your code, you have a var r in both the "Class A" and "Class B" - I'm
confused about that. Thanks for any help.
