Hi

I have buildt a library in Visual Studio .NET that I use in VSTA for Robotstudio.  
The library fills pallets with pices of wood according to parameters from VSTA and comuticate to the robotcontroller (by writing to a file and IO) what pice of wood the robot should grip, and the coordinates.

My “problem” is that the application normally have to draw 100-500 different L-shaped profiles, and this takes time. Typical 1-2 minutes. It is not a big problem, because I do not have to fill the pallets while the robotprogram is running, but it is annoying.  
Is there a way to speed things up? Any parameters to set so it will go faster?

I remeber from VBA in Excell that things whent a lot faster if I set “Application.ScreenUpdating=FALSE”. Anything similar in VSTA for RS?
