LinearGradientBrush Artifact Workaround?

+3  A: 

I have noticed this as well when using gradient brushes. The only effective workaround I have is to always create the gradient brush rectangle 1 pixel bigger on all edges than the area that is going to be painted with it. That protects you against the issue on all four edges. The downside is that the colors used at the edges are a fraction off those you specify, but this is better than the drawing artifact problem!

For my purposes, that works and now the artifacts are finally gone \o/

You can use the nice Inflate(int i) method on a rectangle to get the bigger version.

At least with WPF you could try to use GradientStops to get 100% correct colors right at the edges, even when overpainting.
