Refresh / Repaint is taking much time

Question

Hi friends I am displaying background image in a panel in windows forms and then drawing on top of it. I am able to draw it properly but when I scroll down then back up even I call revalidate or refresh it takes more than 5-6 seconds to again display the drawn images. On some website I read about checking the transparency value but I hadnt setup and transparency value.

Thanks for the reply Sam. Actually even when I am calling invalidate method it is not calling Onpaint. Whereas on minimizing and maximizing the window it call onpaint()

It depends on many things that your program is doing that you don't specify. In other words based on the description provided I really doubt that anyone has any idea of why your program is taking more than 5-6 seconds to show the images again. I suggest that you take advantage of some of the abundant articles and books about graphics in Windows. This web site has many good articles.
