Answer 1

The simplest way is to override the OnPaint method:

public class Form1
{
   protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
   {
      base.OnPaint(e);
      e.Graphics.DrawString("MyString", new Font("Comic Sans MS", 12.0f), new SolidBrush(Color.Red), new PointF(50.0f, 50.0f));
   }
}

This will draw “MyString” in red at 50,50.
