OnPaint

I have a control derived from UserControl and I have overridden the OnPaint
Sub.
All works OK except that the the OnPaint Sub always runs twice.
Can someone explain to me why this is and how can I prevent it from running
twice.

Thanks,
Fred

'OnPaint' can be called several times while the control is visible. When
exactly does it run twice and why are you thinking it should only be called
once?
