Toggle the Visible property? The problem is a logical one; if you hide the control containing the button to toggle visibility, the user will not be able to make it visible again, as the button that toggles it is invisible too.

Re-read what I wrote; the button will be invisible if you hide the container it's in. You cannot click an invisible button. Either put the button somewhere else and have it toggle the Visible property, or put the button somewhere on location (0,0) and resize the control to shrink to the size of the button. Third, best option; throw the button and the control you wish to show/hide on a new usercontrol.
