Unfortunatly the code is part of a large, complex application. If I cannot figure out what's going on with this I may have to extract the code at issue into a smaller application that I can post.
FYI: A previous iteration of the application works correctly, the difference is that I'm segregating the code which provides the capability to have several views of the same dataset into a reusable component. I will continue to examine the differences between the two applications to see what differences might be significant in causing this issue. Maybe its an order of execution or timing issue, I'm not sure.
