Have you looked at the ControlPaint.Dr awReversibleLin e method?
Perhaps that will do what you need.

Interesting...I 've never seen that class before.

I'm a bit confused though; maybe you can elaborate on the purpose of that
class. All of the examples that I looked at in the class documentation
show using the class to draw directly in a non-painting event handler.
Normally this would be a major no-no, since drawing done in that context
isn't persistent.

So then I thought "well, maybe this is some special kind of drawing the
ControlPaint class internally persists somehow". But then I see the
methods take a Graphics instance just like other drawing methods, and that
seems to suggest ControlPaint's not doing anything other than adding some
new features to Graphics (in fact, I suppose they might have been
extension methods had extension methods been around when ControlPaint was
designed).

Are the examples bogus? Or is there something more to ControlPaint than
just adding some extra ways to draw to a Graphics instance?

(Yeah, I could use Reflector and look myself, but I don't have Windows
running at the moment and I figure it'd be better to ask someone who might
have more practical experience with the class anyway).

I'm afraid that I can't offer anything more than what you have learned
on your own. I only suggested that class because I have seen the
original poster's question many times in various forums and that is,
invariably, the answer that is given. I haven't delved too deeply
into the subject myself.

I am looking for a solution to add on-line drawing tool to a phpBB discussion board. The idea would be that the users can draw their own simple drawings with the tool and attach them easily as images in the discussion. The idea is to easily add small drawings to the postings. The drawign tool should be easy to use and learn. It should be easily integrate to the phpBB system.

I have a vb6 application. On the main form is a picture box with one or two images and several pieces of text displayed in it. These are created on the fly using gdi32 routines that are all in a referenced, custom dll. I call a PrintImage routine in the dll and pass it only the the Picturebox.hdc from the main form. The dll's print routine draws to the hdc and it shows up in the picturebox perfectly. I would like to do a similar thing...

Dear colleagues, I refer to your help with specific graphic problem. It is necessary to create a viewfinder in graphic application. It seems that the algorithm is simple: just draw lines in specific position in according to value of some controls, track bars, for example. Next read the track bars value to find the coordinates of lines cross. It works, but I can not get real cross because the background image is being deface by lines...

I've seen several newsgroup topics everywhere concerning this, as well as a couple of articles from the MSDN website, but this error still baffles me. It has to do with using the Image.FromStream(...) function to load an image into a PictureBox control from a byte array received from an SQL Server database. Here's a snippet of what I've been trying to achieve: ----------------------------
