drawing a line?

[ProgrammerJon]

In visual basic CCE if I wanted to draw a line using code the esiest way was

Me.Line (1, 1)-(100, 100)

how do I do this in vb.net?

Your going to have to get a reference to the forms graphics object, and use that to draw lines and shapes.

Something like this.....probably not exact though...
Dim g as Graphics = form1.GetGraphics

[Iouri]

Dim g As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics
g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, 20, 100, 20)
g.Dispose()

If you use that method for fast graphics(Ex: Visuals for a music player) you will get lots of flicker. Trust me. I have been through it already. The fastest(To me) and still easy(To me) is to create a bitmap in memory and draw the graphics in memory then apply it to the object. It is very fast and has 0 flicker.
