Upgrade problem from vb6 to vb.net 1

[Horowitz]

Hi all,

In vb6 i'd write:

Picture1.CurrnetX = 200
Picture1.CurrnetY = 200
Picture1.print "Hello and thanks for your help."

In vb.net how should print a message in a picturebox? The CurrentX and Y methods, as well as the print method do not exist...

Any help for that?

To print text in a picture box you first need the graphics object to print to:

Dim g As Graphics = PictureBox1.CreateGraphics()

An example would be the following:

Dim g As Graphics = PictureBox1.CreateGraphics()
Dim b As Brush = Brushes.Black
Dim x As Single = 1
Dim y As Single = 2
g.DrawString("String to draw", New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold), b, x, y)

Hope that helps.
