Output text in a graphic file

Hi there....

I'd like to be able to output text in a BMP or JPG file programatically
for use in a wallpaper file.... something like the Sysinternals BGInfo
is the effect I am looking for. (Don't worry, I'm not trying recreate
BGInfo, I want to be able to pass different kinds of information using
this technique, it's just the best analogy I could come up with)

Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at Graphics.FromImage
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...fromimage.aspx
Draw your text with Graphics.DrawString and after all save the image.
