Hi Cesar,

I downloaded latest GdiPlusX version (Production release jan/08) and noticed that for some reason my form with ImageCanvas instantiates tiny bit slower then version that was using up to now. In my case that is just enough to produce unpleasent visual effect of ImageCanvas showing briefly with those two lines across [X] which you normally see only in design mode.
After reverting to version I was using before (aprox build 2881) - Form becomes 'snappy' again and you see entire ImageCanvas drawn right away.

Any ideas what happened here ?
