We've experienced a similar problem using .NET 3.0 and DataGridView on a dual monitor system.

Our application would display the grid with a gray background, indicating that the cells could not be changed. Upon selecting a "change settings" button, the program would change the background color of the cells white to indicate to the user that the cell text could be changed. A "cancel" button would change the background color of the aforementioned cells back to gray.

As the background color changed there would be a flicker, a brief impression of a default sized grid with the same number of rows and columns. This problem would only occur on the primary monitor (never the secondary) and it would not occur on a single monitor system.

Double buffering the control, using the above example, solved our problem. We greatly appreciated your help.
