You have only set "g" to a type of Graphics. You don't have a graphics
object to draw on. You need to create a graphics object from either a
control or a bitmap;
dim g as graphics = mycontrol.Creat eGraphics
or
dim mybitmap As Bitmap = New Bitmap(Width, Height)
dim g as Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(v_BackImage )

Sorry, I forgot to change one of my variables...her e is the corrected code:

If you are using the code inside a form's or control's 'OnPaint' method or
'Paint' event handler, add this line:
\\\
g = e.Graphics

You have to get a Graphics object. The one you have is declared but is just
a placeholder.
Perhaps you might use
dim g as Graphics = e.Graphics
if you were responding to a Paint event o perhaps...
dim e as Graphics=Graphi cs.FromImage(.. .)
if you were drawing on an in-memory bitmap.
