I would like to display an animated gif on a .NET Compact Form .

I would like to display an animated gif on a .NET Compact Form. Currently I use a PictureBox control and toggle between .Visible = true and .Visible = false.

After .Visible = true the gif is shown however it’s not animated. How can I get the .NET Compact Framework to animate it?

I already tried this but it doesn’t work.

    By default the .Net Compact framework does not support displaying GIF based animations on a Windows Form. It is possbile to code up a custom animator that will essentially do the same. Here’s a link to a sample class for displaying a GIF on the compact framework.
