what is the best way to keep a child control up to date for changes in the parent.

I have a number of child controls hosted inside my parent object and I can think of two ways to send change information to them.

1) wire the child control to an event in the parent. and fire that event on a change in the parent

2) keep a list of the children in an array and intenerate through the array when the change has happened and invoke a method in the child to handle the new changes.

I hope I describe it okay.

both work but there is probably a right way to handle this and a wrong way.
