XorPen

[tony lock]

In VB 6 your could set the drawmode property to 7 (XorPen), which meant if
you drew a line twice it disappeared, is there a way of getting an equivalent
effect in VB.Net

This is not an upgrade issue, I am writing new code, but came to a point
where a few years ago I would have use XorPen and found there did not appear
to be any equivalent.

The ROP (raster operation) modes used in GDI are not present in GDI+. The
ControlPaint method uses GDI interop to provide a limited selection of XOR
objects with the DrawReversible<xxx> methods. The reason for this is that
easy alpha-blending is supposed to be better.

Personally, I would have liked to have seen raster ops too but we have to
live without them.
