Sure, go for it. I used it when I was new and learning C.

Seems like the easiest way for you right now, so sure =)
Don't hesitate to post questions if you get stuck too.

Unfortunately, no. There's no way to manipulate the drawing of several graphics into a single pictureBox at one time, as far as I know.

And yea, I think it'd be best to stick to his own code here for the GUI too =P

Its weird. Using GDI back in 2000, i could easily draw multiple alpha-blended sprites to a double buffered picturebox (alpha blending in GDI was introduced with Windows 98) without much trouble. You'd probably rather set up a d3d render context in your picturebox, though... -I suggest you use wpf for forms,real-time graphics and platform support outside windows. You design forms in WPF the same way KatenoZ explained, still in MVS, still C#.

Just my 2 cents.

EDIT: "Doublebuffered" meaning having multiple hDCs, and copying from one to another. (The picturebox didn't have a doublebuffered property, maybe it does now, dunno. ;) )

Think you can dig up some articles about this? This really got me interested.

As for your question, no, pictureBoxes don't have a doublebuffer property now either =\

Sure, Kaze, this is the demo i originally got the technique from back when I used VB6 as my primary language:

I'm sure it'll work with other languages capable of using Windows GDI.
I found some more language neutral (C++, really) articles:

Bummer, :/, oh well, it's just two handles and frame copying. Would be cool, though.
