action upon closing form
I have frmMain, which opens frmEvent from within a timer (f.Show not ShowDialog).
When I close the instance of frmEvent by clicking on the X in the ControlBox, I want to update a database.
I can't find any kind of close event in frmEvents memebers.
How do I do this?

If you are looking to close a form could you not just use this.Close(); upon an event?

I have tried the following and can't spot what I am doing wrong. I also tried the "closing" rather than "closed" event.
After build, "Closed" is underlined saying "never used"
public event EventHandler Closed;
This code never executes:
private void frmEvent_Closed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Here");
<-------------------------
}
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I found that I had to add to initialize components:
//
// form closing
//
this.Closing += new System.ComponentModel.Canc
//
// form closing
//
this.Closing += new System.ComponentModel.Canc
