.Net 2.0 Winform takes time to load controls

.Net 2.0 Winform takes time to load controls

• Airex

  I'm not sure I'm understand right - you have form with web browser and button. When mouse leave button - button flickers Where is this button - over the web browser or on the form What is your CPU speed

  It may take more time to load if you have references to other assemblies, like System.Xml.dll - if you don't use them - remove references.

  If it's really critical - try to play with NGEN utility, it may help.

  Then you must start load images after you show form. In OnLoad() method you must write something like this:

  BeginInvoke(new delegate{

  pictureBox1.ImageLocation = "some location";

  }, null, null);

  this will make sure that after OnLoad() called and all pending requests handled, your form will execute anonymous delegate on the same thread and will load image.

  We need more detailed information about wish statements are slow. You can use a profiler to find those statement, to find bottlenecks.
  
  Can you please profile your application and share the result with use
  
  A free profiler is Nprof, nice, free and easy.
  
  When you want a full profiler with just some extra compared to Nprof i suggest ANTS Profiler.
  Here is a full list of available tools:

  • NDepend
  • ANTS Profiler
  • .NET Memory Profiler

  Do you have some code in MouseLeave event It's really strange that flickering goes in picture box control that already load it's image.

  Hi!

  Did you try properties like WaitOnLoad and ImageLocation

  
  
  

• StuUK

  Set the 'DoubleBuffered' property of the form to true. This should help to reduce the flickering effect.
  

• Anderson Farias Carneiro

  Yes
  I have already tried WaitOnLoad. It helps me a bit on images but the controls still come in a flikering manner. Moreover the same page in 1.1 does not takes this time. The complete page loads as a single unit without giving any effect like that in current.

  Thanks
  
  This helped me to reduce the time and flickering on Image load. But the control still take time to load. I have tried after removing the background Image and other Images i was using. The controls still load in about .5 secs whereas in .Net 1.1 all the controls load without such flickering effect.

  I have the same problem about the flikering !!! I have a winform with a webbrowser and a pictureBox and when the mouseleave a flik appear. The problem is with VS 2005 (framework 2.0) but not with VS 2003 (Framework 1). I change the controls to a simple button and the problem persist. I use a backgroung image

  Any idea people

  Thanks a lot !!!!
