What do you mean by "reload" and why would you do it?

There are can be different cases of flicker which usually cannot be resolved, but it's hard to describe the general case. A code sample could help. Can you make on, but only minimalistic yet manifesting the problem? Use "Improve question".

Flickering occurs due to control Repainting.
use control.DoubleBuffered property. set it to true.
DoubleBuffered allows Control redraws its surface using secondary buffer to avoid flickering. check the following it might help you.
