Direct draw handle

Question

I have a direct draw handle that i need to draw a rectangle to. but in c# the drawing is done on the paint events. How can I draw using a directdraw handle?

Answer 1

Technically, you don't need to use the Paint event.  Sounds like you're working on some kind of game, you probably have a main loop where you generate scenes at a rate of (hopefully) no less than 30 per second.  Just blast your rectangle to the screen, don't wait until Windows tells you it is ready to paint...

Answer 2

No I am not working on a game but I found the answer.

Graphics g = Graphics.FromHDC(...);
