DrawLine vs Label

Hi, is it better practise to draw a line on my form using the
Graphics.DrawLine command or should I use a label control instead?

I am refering to overall speed of the form and amount of memory used.

TIA

I have seen in this newsgroup that someone using the Graphics.Drawline was
complaining about the time it took.

I hope this gives you an idea?

The following article discusses how you can create a "line" control in .NET

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/hvrules1.asp

The sample is in C#, however it should be easily converted to VB.NET.

Hope this helps
