Afternoon all,
Does anyone know of a way to draw relationships between two dialogue boxes a la Access? I have a similar situation to Access in that I want my users to create relationships between two tables. Is this possible in .Net

I believe the way Access does this is it uses MDI with child windows inside a main window. The main window paints the relationships upon invalidation. The logic for doing this is quite complicated because it involves tracking states, determining how to draw relationships based on window positions and preventing overlapping lines. You may be better off buying an off the shelf solution such as GO.NET for drawing the diagrams in .NET
