Hi. I have about 30 picture boxes in my form. all pictures are the same. how can i save memory in this case? for example define a picture and bind it to all picture boxes. to increase application size and Reduce memory usage. thanks.

Answer 1

You can create a single Image instance in your code and display the same instance in every PictureBox.

Writing a game with PictureBoxes for every sprite is an extremely bad idea.
You should draw your game by hand by handling the Paint event of a double-buffered control.
