ListBox::BeginUpdate Method ()
Maintains performance while items are added to the ListBox one at a time by preventing the control from drawing until the EndUpdate method is called.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The preferred way to add multiple items to the ListBox is to use the AddRange method of the ListBox::ObjectCollection class (through the Items property of the ListBox). This enables you to add an array of items to the list in a single operation. However, if you want to add items one at a time using the Add method of the ListBox::ObjectCollection class, you can use the BeginUpdate method to prevent the control from repainting the ListBox each time an item is added to the list. Once you have completed the task of adding items to the list, call the EndUpdate method to enable the ListBox to repaint. This way of adding items can prevent flickered drawing of the ListBox when a large number of items are being added to the list.
