    VB.NET hyperlinks on an image

    Please help an older guy get back in the game: I've got an image file of a floor plan. I want to put a hyperlink on each cube location--several links on top of a picture. I'm using VS 2010, a VB.NET web app.

    Seems like I ought to be able to select a tool, then draw some borders on the picture to create a link. That's not happening. I've pasted the image on a new web form--no good. I've made a new web form and made the image as a background--no good.

    I'm willing to read and research, so if anyone has examples or links to good knowledge, I'd appreciate it.

    I would think you may just want to use an image map. This is an HTML thing and not a VB thing, but it should allow you to accomplish your goal.

    Here is some reference material and an example:
