Screen repainting

Hello,

I am using VB.net. Is there a way to stop the screen from repainting. I
would perfer to stop screen repainting for the entire application.

Example when a form is loading. Stop repainting. Execute code. restore
repainting.

In VB 6 I called

Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" (ByVal hwndLock As Long) As
Long
