I’m creating a game in silverlight which would move the object up,down,left or right. i want it to be smooth when i move it. However when i hold the Key, it’ll move, and pause for a split second and continue moving smoothly. how do i erase the pause so i can mak the object move smoothly when i hold the keyboard button.

Thank you 🙂
