Draw text on a image and save the result

[Rob Willaar]

Hi All,

I try to draw text on a picturebox.
The text appears but it is drawn on top of the picture.
when i try to save the result the text is gone.

Rob,

You should draw in my opinon that text on the underlaying bitmap. You can
draw on any place on a form text.

The text appears but it is drawn on top of the picture.
when i try to save the result the text is gone.

Instead of drawing onto the picturebox, draw onto the bitmap directly:

\\\
Dim b As New Bitmap(...) ' Take a look at the overloaded constructor.
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(b)
g.DrawImage(...)
g.DrawString(...)
g.Dispose()
b.Save(...)
b.Dispose()
