Help me to improve animation (C#)

Hey folks,

First of all download here the source code.
It is not huge; only two small forms.
But I am wondering how can I improve it.
Cos playing cards are not rectangle and using timers it's a problem.
Anyway what's your ideas?

Winforms are not really meant for this sort of thing. Have a look into using GDI+, directdraw or possibly even better & easier; WPF

edit: wait, i misread.. listen to L33

This means that I must convert the code to Visual C++???
Damn I am not a programmer just I would like to design some card games to spend my free time in front of PC.

WPF would probably be your best bet if you want a rich graphical environment.

Take a look here for some tutorials:

Also, there is a full WPF poker game on Codeplex. It may be a bit advanced for what you need, but if you can download the sourcecode and go through it, it will be a great learning experience.
