This is the code I have been fiddling with. The DataGridView I am using is double-buffered, if that matters. Maybe I am going about it all wrong.

The problem:
The borders that get drawn on the bottom of the last visible row flicker when I scroll the DataGridView. None of the other borders flicker.

What I want:
I want to be able to specify which borders get drawn, without flickering.

What I have tried:
Different versions of the above code. I have also placed a Refresh command in the scroll event of the DataGridView. This was needed so that all the cells actually get redrawn.

Should I be using the CellPainting event? Maybe some other method?
