drawing ellipse

[Xavier Valdés]

Hi all,

I'm trying to draw an ellipse in my form but I'm not able to do that.
Dim cPiPen As New Pen(Color.Magenta, 3)

Me.CreateGraphics.DrawEllipse(cPiPen, 0.0F, 0.0F, 300.0F, 300.0F)

The problem is when I put these lines in my form_load method nothing is
drawed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

"drawed" -> "drawn" .

Instead of adding the code to the form's 'Load' event handler, add it to its
overridden 'OnPaint' method or the 'Paint' event handler:

\\\
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(...)
///

Thanks 4 correction!
I'm trying to draw it in my OnPaint method but nothing happens.
Perhaps the problem is that my application is not an exe but a .net
component.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Xavi

Components don't have a graphical interface. You'll have to add the code to
a form or control.
