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

Sounds like you want double-buffering:

Although this is mainly used for individual controls, you can implement this in your Windows Forms control or Form.
