Not clear: what do you call a refresh rate? There is no such thing. If ***you*** introduced it, get rid of it if you can: polling is evil.

When a simple datagridview with 20 lines of data is minimized and the restored the lines appear 1 by 1 and not instantly.The same effect you get when playing a new 3d game on an old pc with a slow graphics adaptor – refresh/refreshing?
The application does not make full use of the graphics adaptor.

I doubt if it is hardware related, unless you are using a lot of complex images and controls that need on-the-fly rescaling.

Instead, profile your app: That will tell you what is taking the time. Google will help if you search for "c# profiling" and look about a bit. When you have an objective measure of time taken, and by what, you can start lookign at strategies to reduce that time - but not until then.

i agree ,it's not hardware.i only have visual studio 2008 pro and the sdk installed.no other software running except vs.the applications that i develop is refreshing slow ,and it is just a very basic gridview on a form.it seems like vs or the apps is not making use of the graphics adaptor.
