Solution 1

At some point, Hide and Show (or by using the Visible Property which has the same effect) is the only way, other than creating the controls on the fly and adding or removing them from the appropriate Controls list.

Generally though, I try to group them into containers such as panels, or tab pages, and control the visibility of the whole panel at a time.

I try to check and only post code if I can cut'n'paste from VS - it is annoying to try something and find it doesn't even compile!
