It looks like your best bet would probably be to use the WaitAliasChild method, and the Exists property, along with a RefreshMappingInfo call. It ends up looking like this:

 

var w = Aliases.mySoftware.myForm.WaitAliasChild("myControl", 10000);

if (!w.Exists) mySoftware.RefreshMappingInfo;

 

So, in the case of your code, it would probably be something like:

 

var w = Aliases.M3_AKShell.frmMainVsd.tableLayoutPanel1.

dockPanel.DockWindow.DockPane.Holder.AP.tabAP.

tpVendor.tscVendor.ToolStripContentPanel.tlpVendor.

pnlVendorGrids.WaitAliasChild("dgvVendorDetails", 10000)

/*If statement is optional - if you're having trouble getting name mapping to work, include it, otherwise disregard*/

if (!w.Exists) mySoftware.RefreshMappingInfo;

 

Good luck!
