I was wondering if there was a way to suspend the visual updating of the datagridview when binding a new datasource to it? It takes about a second and a half to update/create rows/create columns everytime I switch datasources. I know that treeviews have a beginupdate/endupdate command to suspend the displaying of the treeview while updating the nodes, but does the DataGridView have the same functionality?

Thanks, I know I have lots of questions but bear with me. The more I learn the better I can help anyone in my situation later.

BTW, how do I become a Microsoft MVP?
