Flickering during updates to Controls in WinForms (e.g. DataGridView)

Question

In my application I have a DataGridView control that displays data for the selected object. When I select a different object (in a combobox above), I need to update the grid

Answer 1

People seem to forget a simple fix for this:

Object.Visible = false;

//do update work

Object.Visible = true;

I know it seems weird, but that works. When the object is not visible, it won't redraw itself. You still, however, need to do the begin and end update.
