how can i correct this code!!!! im using this code so tat i can place my watermark onto those positions!!! if there is any other alternative pls do suggest :) the code which is in bold is the place im getting tat warning... and not getting any output at all

[Aimee Bailey]

on line 35, put the break; at the end of the line, not at the beginning.

 g.DrawString(txtWaterMark.Text, myFont, myBrush, new Point(x, y));

When posting here, please make sure to elaborate (explain fully) the problem you are having. "tat warning" does not help members of this forum understand the issue, and will mean it takes longer to get an answer.

Please provide information on what error you are getting, there are a few possibles I can imagine:

- null reference exception based on g, the Graphics class is a disposable type, which means the garbage collector can destroy it if you show you don't intend on using it.

- x or y may not have a value set.

- break; means the switch exits. If you have code after it, it will be ignored.

You need to close your switch statement.

You're missing the close brace of your switch statement.
I am surprised it compiled at all.
