Adding controls to the Panel works the first couple of times, then fritzes out

Here's screenshots:

Here's the code I'm using to load the pictureBoxes to the Panel:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WebServiceScanner
{
    public partial class MainForm : Form
    {
        int pictureYPosition = 8;
        public MainForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            LoadImageFromScanner();
        }

        private void LoadImageFromScanner()
        {
            Image pic = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Penguins.jpg");
            PictureBox pictureHolder = new PictureBox();
            pictureHolder.Image = pic;
            pictureHolder.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
            pictureHolder.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(180, 250);

            pictureHolder.Location = new Point(13, pictureYPosition);
            panel1.Controls.Add(pictureHolder);

            pictureYPosition += 258;

        }      
    }
}

What could be causing the problem? The Panel has Autoscroll set to true, so maybe that's causing the issue?

IMPORTANT EDIT:

The pictures load absolutely FINE, if I don't touch the scrollbar and leave it in it's initial position (topmost). If I scroll down and add pictures it seems it has a different idea of where the point I'm giving it really is.

Any suggestions?

The solution that worked for me was to supresslayout and resumelayout, the one of Scott.

To substract the autoscroll Y position, didnt worked at all.

A panel scrolls its content by adjusting the Location property of its child controls when you move the scrollbar. You need to do this yourself when you add a picture. Fix:

pictureHolder.Location = new Point(13, pictureYPosition + panel1.AutoScrollPosition.Y);

Not sure if this will help. Before you add it to panel call panel1.SuppressLayout() then afterwards call panel1.ResumeLayout(true).

Another option is use a FlowLayoutPanel instead of manually incrementing the distance every time.
