[RESOLVED] .NET (GDI+) Can you use GDI+ to draw to memory?

[conipto]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is some way to draw to an object like a bitmap or image, without displaying it on screen. I want to be able to use some GDI+ Stuff, so if possible, I'd like to avoid the APIs if possible.

Basically, my requirements in short are:

Be able to use Graphics.Drawstring on it.

Be able to convert the final product to a Bitmap Object.

Not have it display on screen.

dim bm as new bitmap(100,100) ' width, height
dim g as graphics = graphics.fromimage(bm)
g.drawstring(...)

Thanks, I can't believe I missed that.
