Dynamic update of listview causes annoying blinking... how do you prevent this?

I have a component that has row/column data to monitor the process of individual threads... the individual fields are being constantly updated. I was wondering if there is some way of keeping the component (in this case a listView) from blinking when you are updating it.

Is there some way of at least reducing the blink if not all of it?

Thanks?

Usually ListView.BeginUpdate and ListView.EndUpdate are used for this.

How often is the data actually being updated? How often does the user need to see a change?

One thing you can try is to set the DoubleBuffered property of hosting form to true.
