<div>
My latest approach was to go with the listbox as suggested and simply use the add, check the items.count if &gt;100 then use the RemoveAt function to take off the first line.<br />
Which is most efficient ? (this way or using binding as per your suggestions) ?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hard to say without testing, but I'd say the difference is minimal; the same mechanisms are used in both cases.

Hi,<br />
I am looking for the most efficient way to create a textbox to monitor comms data.<br />
<br />
I need to limit it's size to 100 lines so when a new line arrives, it is added to the bottom and if the no. lines in the textbox &gt;100 the first one is removed.<br />
<br />
The behaviour would be similar to that of the hyperterminal window (cant see all data just latest x lines).<br />
<br />
I need to do this in a highly performant manner.<br />
Please advise on the best way to go about it. ps. not wedded to a text box so use another control if it suits.<br />
<br />
(using visual studio 2005)<br />
<br />
thanks.<br />

Implement a sliding window textbox

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
