How to apply a double buffer in a C# panel?

[dxfoo]

I guess the question says it all. Thanks in advanced.

        private void pnl_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            Graphics g = e.Graphics; 

            int[,] map = PC.currentMap;

            // Draw map.
            for (int y = 0; y < 8; y++)
            {
                for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
                {
                    g.DrawImage(Images.imgGrass_1, x * 50, y * 50);
                }
            } 

            // Draw player.
            g.DrawImage(Images.imgC1_Stand, PC.X, PC.Y); 

            Refresh();  // or should i use invalidate? 
        }

I am not sure that this is the correct thread; however, check out this thread http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?t=93136. There is the use of a manual double buffer. ie drawing to a single bitmap and then drawing that to the screen.

Yeh, check out the link.

Also, you shouldn't have to refresh or invalidate at the end of your paint function...that would most likely erase all that you've drawn.
You need to add your function to the paint eventhandler of the control.
