Question

I am currently working with a pictureBox. I am having difficulties drawing a grid over the picture box that is approximately the size of 2 x 2 squares. Now the code below is only giving me a line drawn across. How can I proplery draw a full grid on top of the pictureBox?

CODE:

private Graphics g1;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();


        pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(500, 500);
        g1 = Graphics.FromImage(this.pictureBox1.Image);
        Pen gridPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 2);
        g1.DrawLine(gridPen, 0, 0, 100, 100);

    }

This what I would like to accomplish:

I found this question:
Efficiently draw a grid in Windows Forms

Here is the gist of it:

private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            Graphics g = e.Graphics;
            int numOfCells = 200;
            int cellSize = 5;
            Pen p = new Pen(Color.Black);

            for (int y = 0; y < numOfCells; ++y)
            {
                g.DrawLine(p, 0, y * cellSize, numOfCells * cellSize, y * cellSize);
            }

            for (int x = 0; x < numOfCells; ++x)
            {
                g.DrawLine(p, x * cellSize, 0, x * cellSize, numOfCells * cellSize);
            }
        }
