    <p>You must determine:</p> <p><strong>1) When does you data change?</strong></p> <p>If it depends on other users activity, so you can't determine whether it's changed without querying DB, you can figure out an optimal time for a refresh, like form loading or on every click, or you can use a timer control to refresh the data in a specific time. </p> <p><strong>2) When does your user need to know about that change?</strong> </p> <p>Try to understand how urgent it is for the user to know about a change. Talk to them. Depending on that, decide when do you need to refresh your data.</p> <p><strong>Finally:</strong></p> <p>There isn't a correct way of doing that. It depends on a software structure, users' needs and on a specific situation.</p> <p>Hope it helps. Good Luck!</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>I can add a solutions, that I used recently. If something won't be clear, just ask.</p> <p>I assume, your refreshing the combo from <strong>MS SQL Server</strong>. </p> <p>If so, </p> <p><strong>1.</strong> Create a table , storing in it Combo's data changing date or a version. </p> <p><strong>2.</strong> onClick event or using timer control, which will check for changes every 5 minutes(or any other time), you can compare last change date (or version) of your combo with last change(or version) in that table we store last date(or version) and only if the date(or version) was changed, refresh the combo. </p> <p><strong>3.</strong> Last date (or version) you can store in a variable or in a textbox control, changing it's value every time you refresh the combo. </p> <p><strong>4.</strong> Update last date(or version) in that table if the data changes. </p> <p>In this case, you'll just need to check for changes, not update them.</p> <p><strong>P.S.</strong> If this solution doesn't feet you, just refresh every time on click event. There's no better event for that case.</p>

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.
