Silvelight SizeChanged event

Question

Hi !

I don't know what's happening when resizing the main window, but on my laptop the SizeChanged event fires only when i release the mouse, on other computer the event fires immediately when the mouse moves, not when released. I use IE 8. And the other computer also uses IE 8.

What might be the cause of this?

Windows has an option to disable re-drawing of windows until you've finished moving them. Perhaps it is enabled on one machine but not the other? When you drag any window around does it render as a dotted outline, or is the whole window re-drawn as you move it?

On Windows 2003, the option is under Display Properties, Appearance, Effects, Show window contents while dragging:
