Hello friends,

I have written the folowing code to populate the data from a object in a tablelayoutpanel control. It works :), but when its loading the data onto the table, it flickers/jumps for few seconds and then after 2-3 seconds when its done processing the data it populates the data :( . I believe this behaviour is because of the code written for dynamically processing & drawing of the various controls in the table based on the object data.

I need your help in optimising the code/improving the performance of this code so that the table can load smoothly and fast. Please help. Thanks.

PS: This code is written for a table containing small amount of data. But going forward the same is planned for populating table with 4X more data. If this is the case, then performance will be very poor, which worries me. Please suggest some ideas.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Common obj = new Common();
            obj.CreateDeserializedXmlObject(@"E:\TestReport.xml");
            var v = obj.GetAdminData();
