How do you make a bitmap from a string?

[metronome]

I would l like to make a System.Drawing.bitmap by drawing a rectangle with a string inside the rectangle, so how do you convert a string into a bitmap?

C# or VB examples are ok if anyone has any :)

MSDN is our friend :)

and so are earlier posts in this forum, check
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread224735.html

and
look into MSDN for the System.Drawing.Graphics and System.Drawing.Bitmap methods and members.

Anyway, it seems that once you have created a bitmap, you can create a fraphics object from it, alter that graphics object, and if you haven't made your bitmap reference point somewhere it it will now contain the updated bitmap

have fun,

Create a bitmap at the size you want.
Create a Graphics object for it.
use the .DrawString() function in graphics to draw a string on your bitmap

vola!
