Speed up drawing of windows forms
Hello Gurus,
It seems pretty sad to me that a C# windows form with about 100 controls, tabcontrols, text boxes, etc. Can't be drawn instantly. Is there a way to draw my screens faster?
I look froward to any and all suggestions.

Are you compiling in "Release" mode?

I am was compiling in Debug mode. I tried compiling in Release mode, should there have been a difference?
I thought with 100 controls it might make a difference. I've never had that many controls on a form before. Is it feasible to break it down into multiple forms?
ASKER
Well,
Its a form that has three tabs on it, and in total there are 75 controls. 25 / tab. All the information is pertinent, it just doesn't make sense that it should take a couple seconds for the screen to load.
I think if I broke the screen into smaller parts it would become less effecient for the end user.
