Has anyone come up with a solution to this issue?  I have seen this on the simplist of forms (20-30 controls).  You can watch the forms draw.  Sometimes taking 4-5 seconds.  I know .NET needs to compile it the first time when run so I reran the form and it after the initial compile.  Same results.

I have tried adding Me.SuspendLayout() prior to enabling/disabling controls (buttons with graphics seem to flicker when you Disable/Enable them), then .ResumeLayout after my settings.  I have tried turning on DoubleBuffering which seemed to do nothing.

I do not have the fastest machine or best graphics card available.  I use other development environments that compile to Win32 code and do not exhibit this behavior.  Yes I know .NET is compiled/optimized at runtime, but once compiled I would expect it to perform at the same level as a native Win32 generate application.

Am I expecting too much from .NET?
