Performance

I have a picturebox where I set change the BackgroundImage frequently. I have a the BackgroundImageLayout set to Zoom.

The problem is that when an image does not have the same scale as the picturebox, the picture is drawn in the middle. That is, the top and the bottom padding of the picturebox is always the same.

I would like for the BackgroundImage to always be aligned at the top. What is the easiest and most performance efficient way of doing this?

I can add that I download the images from the internet. If you think that the best way to deal with this is to resize them at that point I can do that :)

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
