Thread: Back buffering with GDI and System.Drawing.Graphics

Greetings!

I'm doing a simple game in C# where I'd like to use back buffering with GDI and System.Drawing.Graphics.

I get the Graphics object from Control.CreateGraphics():

Code:

Graphics myGFX = myControl.CreateGraphics()

The thing I'd like to do is, instead of retrieving a Graphics from myControl.CreateGraphics(),
I'd like to create a new Graphics object

Code:

Graphics myGFX = new Graphics(...);

Then draw to myGFX, and when done drawing, I'd like to SET the graphics of myControl = myGFX. To reduce flickering.

Code:

myControl.Graphics = myGFX; /* I know this don't work but that's want I want to accomplish... */

Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

Look into the CopyFromScreen method. I'll admit that I have no idea except for what these two links had to say about it:
