control or rectangle filled with static on a form! geez, (static should be a cuss word at this point)
control or rectangle FILLED with STATIC, thats it! geez!


i just came up with a neato algorythm to make a large array/collection of random grey scale values, now i juts want to know what e.graphics,draw[shape?!]
to use to put the static grey scale(i think) values on the form without hogging the cpu at render time.

any static on a form in vb.net2005 stuff would be appreciated!

"static noise" it is. Change the bitmap image with its SetPixel method and display it.
