    RubberBanding Drawing in VB.NET on Win8/10

    Hey dudes :)

    Ok, First thing first... I have not tried this on Win8, so just an assumption at the moment.

    The Following code works on XP(SP3), Vista, & Win7 so far, but after giving my app to a friend who was suckered into Win10 because of the "Free" deal, says it's no longer working. The Applicatiuon runs, but doesnt work, & throws No Errors whatsoever.

    RubberBanding Code:
    Code:
        Private _RubberBandingOn As Boolean = False
        Private _Start As New Point
        Private _Stop As New Point
        Private _Now As New Point
        Private _rRectangle As New Rectangle
    
        Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
            PictureBox2.Visible = False
    
            Me._RubberBandingOn = Not _RubberBandingOn
    
            If Me._RubberBandingOn Then
    
                If _Start = Nothing Then _Start = New Point
    
                _Start.X = e.X
                _Start.Y = e.Y
                _Now.X = e.X
                _Now.Y = e.Y
    
            End If
    
            Me.Invalidate()
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove
            If Me._RubberBandingOn Then
                If _Now = Nothing Then _Now = New Point
    
                Me._Now.X = e.X
                Me._Now.Y = e.Y
                Me.Invalidate()
            End If
            Me.Cursor = Cursors.Cross
            Me.ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Me, e.X.ToString & ", " & e.Y.ToString)
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Form1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseUp
    
            Me._RubberBandingOn = Not Me._RubberBandingOn
    
            If Not Me._RubberBandingOn Then
    
                If _Stop = Nothing Then _Stop = New Point
    
                _Stop.X = e.X
                _Stop.Y = e.Y
    
                Me.Invalidate()
    
                If _rRectangle.Width > 20 AndAlso _rRectangle.Height > 20 Then
    
                    PictureBox2.Location = _rRectangle.Location
                    PictureBox2.Size = _rRectangle.Size
                    PictureBox2.Visible = True
    
                Else
                    GC.Collect()
                End If
            End If
        End Sub
    Can someone here shed some light on what could be wrong, or about any removals, or deprecation of code from Microsoft, or GDI+/GDI changes, or whatever that could have caused this? Maybe Win8/10 has a brand new way of drawing that I'm not aware of?

    Any help is awesome as usual.
    Thanks.
