character movements

[ThePentiumGuy]

i have 12 graphics for characters
character left 1 , characterleft2, character left 3

and so on

when i say
(when the user preses left)
character.image = characterleft1.image
character.image = characterleft2.image
character.image = characterleft3.image

it goes very choppily and you cant even see characterleft2 and 3

Double Buffering.

Visual Basic

Thanx for the link but i was meant in the same thing in Visual Basic.NET

Look up VB.net Double Buffering on the net. That is how I found it. Except for C#.

To get the best performance you should to 3 things.. enable double buffering like aewarnick said and allpainting in wm:

SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, True)
SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)

Then you override the OnPaintBackground and do nothing in it.

yeah, but if u override the OnPaintBackground it gets rid of it, nevertheless, my program works
