Question

i have a constructor:

public Form1(string startDate, string endDate, string cbQCValues,string cbAnalytes, string cbInstruments,bool copy_of_form)
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        dateStart.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(startDate);
        dateEnd.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(endDate);


        GenerateGraph();
    }

and i also have an onLoad

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {

               string qcvalues_query = "SELECT DISTINCT name FROM qvalues ORDER by name";
               string analytes_query = "SELECT DISTINCT compound FROM qvalues ORDER by compound";
               string instruments_query = "SELECT DISTINCT instrument FROM batchinfo WHERE instrument <> '' AND instrument is not Null ORDER by instrument";
...
...
}

what gets executed first? i need to make sure that the onLoad gets executed first

is this posible?

Answer 1

The constructor – Form1_load is an instance method which requires a valid instance in order to be called.
