Drawing - Visual Basic .NET

Boo K.M.

I think I have come to a problem once or twice before.
In VB6, we have Shape to draw lines and rectangle/triangle stuffs, but how
do we do that in VB.NET? I don't know if I missed any Toolbox there, but
just simply couldn't find.

Handle the form's 'Paint' event and draw the shapes there
('e.Graphics.{Draw*, Fill*}').

There are also commercial libraries that perform this task far better than
the old Shape classes.

OK, thank you everyone.
I just want to know the answer and it is enough now (library - 3rd party,
code).
Normally now whenever I want to draw separator (3D lines), I just use frame
or (what's it called now?) without caption (yeah, text property, in VB.NET),
and size it properly to have gray and white line side by side.

Just a quick way.
I don't think drawing with code is efficient in the first place, such as one
I am encountering now, drawing tables in RTF document with
code......Somebody else please do the dirty job for me......
