Like many who worked for years in the world of K2 4.x, I had to adjust to multiple changes when clients adopted K2 Five. Experience made some problems in K2 4.x a snap to fix, but we maybe needed to grow a little to accomplish the same in the new version.
Can you call an Initialized() method from a SmartForm while it’s Initializing? (Sponsorship opportunity for Excedrin or Tylenol)
