   for (int i = 0; i < imageList.Items.Count; i++) 
   { 
      RasterImageListItem item = imageList.Items[i]; 
      // If this is not out item and is selected, de-select it 
      if (i != itemIndex && item.Selected) 
      { 
         item.Selected = false; 
 
         // re-paint only this item 
         item.Invalidate(); 
      } 
 
      // If this is our item and is not selected already, select it 
      if (i == itemIndex && !item.Selected) 
      { 
         item.Selected = true; 
 
         // re-paint only this item 
         item.Invalidate(); 
      } 
   } 
}

Remarks

You can call Invalidate after you make changes to a certain RasterImageListItem that belongs to a RasterImageList control. Calling Invalidate on the item causes only the portion of the control covered with the item to be invalidated as apposed to invalidating the surface of the entire control.
