    Thumbs up Paint lite.Net

    this was 1 of my first projects in vb.net that i didn't finish (until now).

    it's a paint program using 100% GDI+ methods.

    as always, please let me know if you find any problems...

    @hack. i've removed as many binaries as possible without incapacitating the program. thanks

    just to explain... to close a polygon or an irregular cut/copy region, click the corresponding tool button

    Re: Paint lite.Net

    I didn't test it in detail, but I think I found a bug. If you draw some lines (just with the pen, but probably with other tools to), then open a new document (click the New button) and then use (for example) the Text tool, then the old lines re-appear.

    Also, a feature where it warns you that you are about to throw away unsaved work would be nice. Just keep a boolean flag, set it to true when the user paints, and set it to false when he saves the image. Before creating a new image or closing the application or whatever, you can test the boolean and give the user the option to save before closing.

    Otherwise it seems to work pretty well. Good job. Only downside is that the code is quite long and messy so probably hard to extend when you don't know exactly what's going on everywhere.

    Pretty dang impressive! Performance seem relatively good, but a bit choppy at times, like when switching paint controls, or moving the window around the screen.

    have you ever seen Paint.NET ? Great FREE Program, which I assume is built on the Framework.

    Re: Paint lite.Net

    Hey, could you update this to work with vs 2013? It gives loads of errors and it says lots of things aren't declared.

    Edit: I got 30 errors off by changing configuration from Any cpu to X86

    Edit 2 : Got the remaining 7 off by rebuilding.

    (Added edits so if someone else has same errors they can fix)
