I am running my map in dynamic display mode, and I want to programmatically uncheck a layer that is not a IDynamicLayer that is visible in the AxTocControl -- its just a regular layer file.

I thought that layer.Visible = false; with a map refresh would work, but bafflingly it does not.

I'm using ArcEngine 10 VS2010 & C#

Have you set its buddycontrol to be the map control? – MathiasWestin Feb 15 '11 at 21:54
There's refresh and then there's refresh; how are you refreshing the map? – Michael Todd Feb 15 '11 at 21:55
@MathiasWestin yes, I set it to my AxMapControl, like this: toolbarControl.SetBuddyControl(mapControl); – patrickinmpls Feb 15 '11 at 22:02
@Michael Todd mapcontrol.Refresh() – patrickinmpls Feb 15 '11 at 22:03

Try using mapcontrol.Refresh(esriViewDrawPhase.esriViewGeography, null, mapcontrol.Extent); – Michael Todd Feb 15 '11 at 22:20

Look at the samples: Layer property page and property sheet you need to use ActiveView.ContentsChanged to refresh the TOC when working with layer visibility.
