    <p>I've recently created these two (unrelated) methods to replace lots of boiler-plate code in my winforms application. As far as I can tell, they work ok, but I need some reassurance/advice on whether there are some problems I might be missing.</p> <p>(from memory)</p> <pre><code>static class SafeInvoker { //Utility to avoid boiler-plate InvokeRequired code //Usage: SafeInvoker.Invoke(myCtrl, () =&gt; myCtrl.Enabled = false); public static void Invoke(Control ctrl, Action cmd) { if (ctrl.InvokeRequired) ctrl.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(cmd)); else cmd(); } //Replaces OnMyEventRaised boiler-plate code //Usage: SafeInvoker.RaiseEvent(this, MyEventRaised) public static void RaiseEvent(object sender, EventHandler evnt) { var handler = evnt; if (handler != null) handler(sender, EventArgs.Empty); } } </code></pre> <p>EDIT: See related question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/258409/how-to-get-information-about-an-exception-raised-by-the-target-of-controlinvoke">here</a></p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>Following on from deadlock problems (related in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2055960/control-invoke-getting-stuck-in-hidden-showdialog">this question</a>), I have switched from Invoke to BeginInvoke (see an explanation <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/229554/whats-the-difference-between-invoke-and-begininvoke/229558#229558">here</a>).</p> <p><strong>Another Update</strong></p> <p>Regarding the second snippet, I am increasingly inclined to use the 'empty delegate' pattern, which fixes this problem 'at source' by declaring the event directly with an empty handler, like so:</p> <pre><code>event EventHandler MyEventRaised = delegate {}; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
