Hello,

I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003. I have a form with several data grids, where the Visible property was set to false. I tried to set it to true, but it still says false in property window. I tried removing the visible property, but it still says false in the property window. I shut down the app, and brought it back up, and it says false with the property written back into the HTML. For some reason, it won't let me change the visibility. Anybody encounter this before? I'm definitely not going to code it into my application.

Thanks,

Brian

OK, apparently what was happening is that the panel that encompasses all of these controls was controlling the visible property so that when the panel was false, the data grid had to be false. When I changed the panel to true, the visibility could be false or true.

It shouldn't be doing that, right?

I dono- does it happen to other controls in the panel? It makes sense to me that if a panel is not visible it's members wouldn't be.

Yes it does actually... it does make sense to a point, but the problem is that when you set it to true, it doesn't automatically revert all of the visibilities back to true.

I ended up in the page load setting the appropriate panel visible to be true and the rest false.
