[Tim]

In VB6 we have function PixelsToTwipsX(), what's the equivalent in VB .NET? Thanks.

Nothing, because there are no twips in VB.NET. It only supports pixels.

There are no twips anymore, but assuming 1 twip is still 1/1440 inch, the
formula

pixels / g.dpix * 1440

converts pixels to twips, where 'g' is a graphics object. It's available in
OnPaint or the Paint event from the argument e.graphics. Outside these
procedures call thecontrol.creategraphics to get a graphis object (and call
it's dispose method after usage).

Just FMI: Why do you need that?
