URGENT: VB .NET Help! (1 Viewer)

[SW220]

Ok, well ive used visual basic 6 for a while now and thats all good and well, but now i have to learn how to use .net. If you have used visual basic 6 before, you would know you are able to directly print to a form, without the need for a label, but on .net i dont know how to!

Does anyone know how!

I think he means how in VB6 you can just go From1.Print "Some text" but i've never used .NET before, so eh??

Hmmm i see i'm not sure if VB.NET has it anymore, i mean not even VB6 itself supported it inside intellisense menu, it wasn't listed. But there's a way where u could draw a string onto the form,under the paint event, and i mean it's quite flexible you can draw the string with as many characteristics as you desire.


Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint

Dim bigFont As New Font("Comic Sans MS", 60, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
Dim brushes As Brushes
e.Graphics.DrawString("hey", bigFont, brushes.Black, 2, 3)

End Sub
