DataGrid Icon column - paint performance issue

[Chris 3]

Hi, I have a datagrid with 2 icon columns, I found when the screen needs to repaint, the 2 icon columns slow down the painting, it seems that loading icons is taking time, any idea about how to make loading of icons faster? Thanks

For starters, if you're creating a Graphics instance yourself (probably not, but anyway...), make sure you dispose of it when finished or memory consumption will increase (call _Graphics_.Dispose() when finished). The same goes for the Icon. If you don't, it will take longer and longer because your memory consumption increases. Eventually you may exhaust the working memory alloc'd to your process.
