controls inside panel removed after hiding it

[emmeicsics]

I don't understand if this behaviuor is by design or I'm missing
something.

I have a form with 2 panels.

Inside panel1 there's a button which, when clicked, hides panel1 and
shows panel2.
Inside panel2 there's another button which, when clicked, hides panel2
and shows panel1.

The code is something like this:

mypanel1button_click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.panel2.BringToFront();
}
mypanel2button_click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.panel1.BringToFront();
}

I tried using hide() and show() instead of bringToFront() to no avail.

What's wrong with my code?

thank you

Try setting the Panel's Visible property to false instead.
Also, BringToFront() method only changes the z-order (child control's
order), nothing more.
That's not what you want here.
