Fastest Way for Threads to Display on Picture Boxes?

I am writing a multithreaded application that has 6 threads each
writing 5 frames per second video bitmaps to a different picture box.
I have just found out that only the main UI thread is supposed to
interact with Windows Fourms. What is the fastest way to have a non UI
thread safely write a bit map to a picture box?

Any thread can do CreateGraphics on any control (at any time) and then
safely write on that control (at any time).

Ok, I'll explain the whole problem because there may be several ways to solve this and hopefully someone knows one. What I'm doing is creating a specialty template editor, similar to say a corel draw (but for specific uses). What I need to be able to do is import graphics and text and then move them around the background until they are where I want them and then export it out as an image file. The problem is that I need to be able to...

Hi I wonder if someone can help with this, because there's something I'm not understanding right. I've got a List Array of PictureBoxes. If I call PictureBoxListArray.Clear(), and then MainForm.Invalidate(), the picture boxes remain visible on the form.

Sorry for the legacy question (VB6) but the program I need to implement printing on has not been converted to .Net yet. I have a form with 4 Picture Boxes on it. These boxes are used as a simple means of displaying data from my database, and data regarding the connected user. I am using printform to print the form in its current state, which works well except that the contents of the

Hi, I'm using a thight integration with Outlook 2003 (with an Exchange server) in my VB.NET (2005) application. Until now I'm using the Outlook Object Model, but it appears to be very slow, and has some problems: - doing a Move changes the ReceivedTime of the MailItem - I can't use RichText in the MailItem.Body (only allows plain text or HTML) - some other stuff like having to use small 'tricks' to show the default signature in an email

What is the fastest way to search a client-side database? I have about 60-65 kb of data downloaded to the client which is present in 3 dynamically created list boxes. The boxes are filled from 3 string arrays, which are just lists of people or companies in alphabetic order. These names may have accented and umlauted characters (which are present as the plain ASCII - not as the entity &# character). The page is UTF-8 encoded. e.g. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
