Convert this line of code from VB5 To .NET ??

What do I need to do to convert this to .NET. The update wizard wouldn't touch it.


pPaintInto.Line (PosX, PosY1) - (PosX, PosY2)

What is pPaintInto ???

that is not possible to copy like that

you must do it the .net way

I reallize that. Isn't that the question? How do you do it the .NET way?

pPaintInto.Line (PosX, PosY1) - (PosX, PosY2)

pPaintInto is a picture box that something is being drawn in.

I realize this is not much code to demonstrate. It appears there is no direct crossover from .line in VB5/6 to .NET.

You'd have to use the paint event of the picturebox to persist the drawing. Also in this example I provided values for the position variables which you would have to change.

VB Code:

Private Sub pPaintInto_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles pPaintInto.Paint
        'pPaintInto.Line (PosX, PosY1) - (PosX, PosY2)
        Dim posx As Single = 10
        Dim posy1 As Single = 100
        Dim posy2 As Single = 115
        e.Graphics.DrawLine(New Pen(Color.Black), posx, posy1, posx, posy2)
    End Sub

That draws a line in a vertical direction. You'll have to tweak it from there.

Thank you!

What does the (PosX, PosY1) - (PosX, PosY2) mean? Is this a minus sign in VB5/6?
