Answer 1

See the Windows Forms Events Lifecycle for info.

Answer 2

The Enter event is suppressed in Form. Its equivalent is Activated. Loaded occurs once during creation. Activated occurs whenever the Form becomes active (e.g. is selected by the user, opened, etc). Loaded comes before Activated.
