Getting hDC

Is there any way to get the hDC for objects such as Forms and PictureBoxs in VB.NET?

I've tried using the GDI+ routines, but they don't seem very fast... I was hoping that there's some way to use bitblt as in VB6...

try this example which uses Hdc (what's that anyways :D)

this is vb.net api declaration


here's VB.NET version of BitBlt function :

Yeah, i tried using the "System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage" thing, but it was rather slow. That's why i was hoping to get an hDC and use BitBlt.

Thanks for the links though.
