Drawing in Visual Studio?

Hi,

This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to add things like lines to a form easily? Without creating the line manually using System.Drawing?

Thanks.

You can download the VB Powerpacks, if you haven't got it already, which includes a Line control. I think if you have VS2008 (or maybe the first service pack) then you should already have them, theyre at the bottom of the toolbox.

Inside the PowerPack group in the toolbox, i only have the: Pointer and PrintForm controls.

What version of Visual Studio are you using? Or are you using a Visual Express version? Not sure if it matters, but you should always specify it.

Have you installed SP1 for VS 2008? If not you should do so for more reasons than just this. If you do have SP1 installed then you can simply add the Line control and the other shapes to the Toolbox by right-clicking.

Visual Studio .NET
Framework: SP1 Version 3.5
