Hey Guys,

Just a question for the guys that have dabbled in programming before.
Winforms is my home and it's where I feel comfortable I've used a good variety of third party component packs like Telerik, Janus, Dundas and DevExpress.

My question is they supply items like a Gauge control that has amazingly smooth needle action, like you might see in a car, the speedometer needle goes from 0 - 120 etc it's really smooth.

How do they do this?
I've tried replicating it and putting a timer in so every 20 milliseconds (tried 5, 50 100 etc) the needle moves 1 in value and it's fine with 1 gauge, put 10 gauges on a panel and it grinds to a stutter hault.
However animate the gauge using their prebuilt animation and it runs seamlessly.

What witchcraft are they using?
