I'm running Visual Studio .NET 2003.
I was messing in form designer
when I thought about putting a line on a form
and I noticed there was no "drawing" or "graphics" toolbar or toolbox.
Does this exist?
Do have to manually code it using Graphics?
I would think there would be a simple tool bar that lets me draw
lines, circles, boxes, have a selector for line thickness, etc.
Any help?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steve,

This was removed from VB.NET. It is really very easy to achieve the same
effect by using GDI+ (system.drawing) drawing in the paint event of a
control eg

e.graphics.drawrectangle(100,100,200,200);
Try it, you'll like it I think
