Initially during form setup, the datagridview,visible is set to false.
Depending on whether files are fetched or not, the datagridview.Visible is set to true and the values arepopulated in the datagridview. Buth the problem is that the datagridview needs to be updated from another class and not from the form class. How is it possible to achieve the same

Try to follow what KARTHIK said. You must create one method in the class which will accept the object of DataGridView . now make the changes in that object where the data is showing .

If It is an asp.net application, we have code behind so, you can not use it, but there is a way to use it if you make a user control and put your gridview in that. you can register and use it any where you want in your project.

what you can do is
just create a method in the class passing the gridview object as the parameter and try to use the object inside the method in that class. this will make some sense as you can manipulate or do something with the grid, in which the data is present on the screen.

if you try to access the gridview from a class with public variable, you will just get a new instance of the Gridview object. which is of no use.

i hope you understood.
