I'm currently designing a user control that will draw some graphics like
rectangles and such...  The control can select the drawn rectangle and move
it. The thing is, a control is a rectangle and cannot be rotated, so if my
drawn rectangle is rotated 45 degrees, the bounding ...

I am using .Net 1.1
I am facing a problem with my GDI++ code in C# control.
Though i have tried many things from last 6 months, i am not able to get
completely rid of this bug.

I've noticed that Drawing.Graphics.TextRenderingHint = ClearTypeGridFit does
not seem to be used when StringFormat.FormatFlags = DirectionVertical.  This
is best seen by running the following example:
Public Class Form1

Are there any samples or documentation on how to draw the background for the
Office Button (i.e., the button that replaces the File menu) in Office 2007?  
I really like the glossy look of this item in Office 2007 and I want to
implement a similar looking item in my app.

Hi all...
I have developed an application for managing a very large resource of
artist's paintings and posts them to a web site. The application works well.
I'm trying to reduce the complexity of having to work with photoshop and

private void pictureBox1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   int w = pictureBox1.Width;
   int h = pictureBox1.Height;

Hi, I'm trying to draw a rectangle around an image but for some reason for
the life of me I can't figure out why the rectangle is not drawn the same
width as the image any ideas?
using(Image newImage = GenerateBitmap())

Does anyone know a way around this?  Do I need to write my own transform
code?
It appears that SmoothingMode doesn't apply to matrix transformations (in my
case shear).  The following code produces shearing with ugly stepping:

How do I print (on the top) or on the right side of pages that are drawings?
Drawings are in landscape style format. I need to set printing to the top of
these drawings.

I get an exception when using 'Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot' in my pen
method. I have a pen as instance member of a class and set its dashstyle in
the paint method.
Can anyone please give some input on the same.

Im trying to print a tif file with size 975x839 with resolution
300x300.
Im printing this onto a virtual printer which takes a size of 1720x2200
200x196 dpi.

I've been studying all the articles I can find on GDI+, and putting together a function to convert image colors and
types.
I am finding that I can quantize an image to 8 bit colors, and then save to png format perfectly with:
bitmap.save(filename,  ImageFormat.png)

I have to developed a image library like ACDSee in which i have
thousands of images of different extensions including PSD and AI.
Library will display the images in thumbnails and then user can click
on a thumb nail to preview the orignal image

I am loading an Icon .ico that contains 16x16 24x24 32x32 and 48x48  XP
Icons with alpha transparencies.  Then I am trying to save each Icon size as
a PNG with the alpha transparency intact.
I have tried the following methods but none maintain the Alpha Channel Data,

I know that Gif images have an indexed pixel format, However it is
possible for Tiffs and jpegs to also have this format?
Thank you for your time.
