C# Overlapping datagrid

I have two DataGrid in same position, so I just hide one of it at initiation. When I set coding to a button like DataGrid1.Visible = false; DataGrid2.Visible = true;

both DataGrid simply just disappear.

I guess the DataGrid1 overlay DataGrid2, so that DataGrid2 is hidden. I try to search the way pulling DataGrid2 out of water, but can't search it.

Also there I have two buttons assigning the same position. And do it as the same as above. The two buttons also disappear

You can do one simple thing that put your both data grid in 2 different panel, and hide and show that panel. It may solve your problem.

Try this. It works for me. If that doesn't work, set breakpoint, inspect both datagridView Visible properties.

Form1.designer.cs

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
partial class Form1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Required designer variable.
    /// </summary>
    private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

    /// <summary>
    /// Clean up any resources being used.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing && (components != null))
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }
