hdc property from VB6

After conversion from VB6 to VB.NET the following code shows an error on frmMyMain.hdc.

moPaintEffects.PaintTransparentStdPic(frmMyMain.hdc, frmMyMain.imgOKCircle(i).Left, frmMyMain.imgOKCircle(i).Top, frmMyMain.imgOKCircle(i).Width, frmMyMain.imgOKCircle(i).Height, ....etc..


I know the hdc property is no longer used, but how might this code be changed for .NET?

VB.NET uses Graphics() in place of hDC for drawing.

VB Code:

Sub Test
     dim g as Graphics=me.CreateGraphics()
     g.DrawLine(....)
End Sub

If you want to use hDC still with certain functions, maybe try calling the GetDC() api passing in the handle of the object you want.

VB Code:

moPaintEffects.PaintTransparentStdPic(GetDC(CInt(frmMyMain.Handle.ToString)),...
