Refresh dgv works only with the activated event, why?

I have two forms both with a dgv connected to two different datasets. When i change my data in one of the datasets i have to refresh the other one (i know the solution is not the best). After trying many many different ways of rebinding, refreshing and so i found the following code working:

Private Sub View_Activated(byval sender as Object, _ Byval e as System.Eventargs) Handels MyBase.Activated Table_Load(Nothing, Nothing) End Sub

Private Sub View_Load(byval sender as Object, _ byval e as system.eventargs) Handels Mybase.Load Me.TableAdapter.Fill(Me.Dataset.Table) End Sub

After Chaning things in dgv1 i can see the changes in dgv2 with these commands. BUT when i change mybase.activated to mybase.shown or something else it is not working anymore. Apparently this only works when i use the event activated, but i have no idea why? BTW. I totally dont understand why the dgv is updated with the new data when i have my activated-event but when i comment the activated-event out the dgv is not updated.

The form's Activated event fires when the form window gets focus. The Load event only fires when the form is initially loaded.

When you make a change on one form, and change focus to the second form, Activated fires.
