You can set the DataSource to nothing. I believe that clears the grid.

Is your DataGridView bound to a data source? or are you filling it
manually?

Assuming you're using .Net 2.0, try using a Binding Source.

Dim myBindingSource as BindingSource = New BindingSource()

myBindingSource.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables(0)
myDataGridView.DataSource = myBindingSource

Then see what happens when you clear your dataset (set it to nothing). The
BindingSource handles the link between the data and the display, it's kind
of like lubrication between gears. It responds immediately to changes in
the data source.
