two methods i can think of for implementing look up forms.
1. Passing binding sources used in parent forms as public properties to look up forms.(Not ideal for concurrent data).
2. Fetch data(strings,integers,dates) in look up forms find id then find the relative data in main form.(It will require many round trips to database).
But i guess, i can think of situations where to use which.
Other thing is whether grid view will be too heavy for look up forms( few tables will have more than few thousand records), which built in control(vs 2010) you recommend( since i am a newbie and never used a custom control).
