visual c# form update results in flickering

Question

I have a .net app that I\'ve written in c#. On some forms I frequent update the display fields. In some cases every field on the form (textboxes, labels, picturebox, etc) ha

The ghosting is usually caused because you're running in a single thread and it's being held up with the field updates so the paint event doesnt fire. One way to fix this would be to put the heavy lifting in asynchronous methods. This will allow the form to repaint itself and update whatever is needed when they async method calls back.
