Reloading a Form in C#

I'm been doing some work recently in C# on a Windows Form I'm creating for a pet project.  I'm creating a form that presents customer information and allows the user to scroll through each customer using "Previous" and "Next" buttons.

While working through the form, I was able to get my data into an array and then present the first customer in the form.  I then figured out how to update the index of the array for the next customer, but I couldn't figure out how to present the next data into the form.  Through my research, I found the following post:

Reloads Form in C#

Scrolling through the answers, one answer says this:

try this

this.formName_Load(this, null);

I then put this code into my program right after I've updated the index of my array for the next customer.  Magically (not really) the form reloaded with my new data.

I wanted to discuss the different portions of the above code and what it does:

• this - refers to the current instance of the class.  For example, you could have multiple classes that have the same form names and each could be referenced by other classes.  "this" makes sure that you are referencing the current class.
• formName - the name of your form.  For example, my form is called "customerForm", so I would replace formName with customerForm.
• _Load - tells the form to load.  To read more on Load event, go here: Form.Load Event
• (this, null) - The "this" again refers to the current class.  null is used in place of the EventArgs class (which is used to provide data for events).  Since this is an event that doesn't contain any data, we then pass a null, which is an empty field.  To read more on the EventArgs class, go here: EventArgs Class
