Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms. It is a handler for the Paint event. A Graphics object is passed to the event and is used to draw the image on the form. The code performs the following actions:

private:
   void ImageExampleForm_Paint(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::PaintEventArgs^  e) 
      // Create image.
      Image^ newImage = Image::FromFile( "SampImag.jpg" );
      // Create Point for upper-left corner of image.
      Point ulCorner = Point(100,100);
      // Draw image to screen.
      e->Graphics->DrawImage( newImage, ulCorner );
private void ImageExampleForm_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    // Create image.
    Image newImage = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg");
    // Create Point for upper-left corner of image.
    Point ulCorner = new Point(100, 100);
    // Draw image to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, ulCorner);
Private Sub ImageExampleForm_Paint _
    (ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) _
    Handles MyBase.Paint
    ' Create image.
    Dim newImage As Image = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg")
    ' Create Point for upper-left corner of image.
    Dim ulCorner As New Point(100, 100)
    ' Draw image to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, ulCorner)
End Sub
	
Remarks
	
To draw an Image on a Windows Form, use one of the DrawImage methods.
In .NET 6 and later versions, the System.Drawing.Common package, which includes this type, is only supported on Windows operating systems. Use of this type in cross-platform apps causes compile-time warnings and run-time exceptions. For more information, see System.Drawing.Common only supported on Windows.
