Hello,

I am working on kind of drawing program but I have a problem with flickering while moving a mouse cursor while drawing a rubberband line. I hope you can help me to remove that flickering of line, here is the code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace GraphicsTest
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        int xFirst, yFirst;
        Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(1000, 1000);
        Graphics bmG;
        Graphics xG;
        Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 1);
        bool draw = false;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            bmG = Graphics.FromImage(bm);
            xG = this.CreateGraphics();
            bmG.Clear(Color.White);
        }

        private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            xFirst = e.X;
            yFirst = e.Y;
            draw = true;
        }

        private void Form1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            bmG.DrawLine(pen, xFirst, yFirst, e.X, e.Y);
            draw = false;
            xG.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);
        }

        private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (draw)
            {
                xG.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);
                xG.DrawLine(pen, xFirst, yFirst, e.X, e.Y);
            }
        }

        private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            xG.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);
        }
    }
}
