Question

I am looking for a solution\software that I can use in order to render buttons in real time.
That is, I have an image and text, and I want them to be an image altogether in realtime.

Thank you

You can dynamically create an image based on text using the System.Drawing namespace.

private Bitmap CreateBitmapImage(string imageText, string imageUrl)
{
    Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(imageUrl);
    Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(myBitmap);
    g.DrawString(imageText, new Font("Tahoma", 40), Brushes.White, new PointF(0, 0));

    return (objBmpImage);
}

Once you have the Bitmap object in memory you can save it to the disk and call it’s location from the web.

Bitmap bmp = CreateBitmapImage("my picture", @"C:\myBasePic.bmp");
bmp.Save(@"C:\bla.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.png);
