How do I use CachedBitmap in C#
I'm fairly new to the Visual Studio .NET environment. I'm pretty much still used to Visual C++ 6.0. However, I'm trying to develop a small Windows Control Class that simply paints a bitmap on the control. My problem is using the CachedBitmap class. Whenever I instantiate a CachedBitmap variable, I get a message in my Task List saying : "The type or namespace name 'CachedBitmap' could not be found...
Obviously I need to import the appropriate libraries. in VC++ I would use the #include directive. It seems I need to use the Using directive for C#, but I don't seem to get this right.
All I want to know is what I need to do to be able to use the CachedBitmap class in my C# solution.
Kind regards

CachedBitmap is a GDI+ class which is not wrapped in .NET's System.Drawing.. You don't need to use it anyway, try Bitmap instead...

Q: rkp123 : CachedBitmap? Anybody?
Fred_MS:
A: We don't have a CachedBitmap. However, if you render to the Form (within OnPaint()) we will automatically render to a cached bitmap then bitblt forward.
