Powerful Graphics

Windows Forms applications take advantage of GDI+, providing richer image control including support for more image formats. Developers will be able to easily access high-end graphics features such as alpha blending, manipulating gradients consistency, double-buffering of the OnPaint event, and the transparent and layered windows enabled by Windows 2000. With these features, developers can create richer, more complex graphical applications that have the performance customers demand.
