I am trying to convert some old VB6 code to VB.NET. The VB6 uses a Canvas control, simply

Dim cv as Canvas

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the Canvas control in VB.NET (using VS2005). MSDN says it is in the System.Windows.Controls namespace, which doesn’t seem to exist? All I see is System.Windows.Forms, which doesn’t include the Canvas control. Any tips?

Thanks

    You need to find out what the Canvas was in VB6, then you will be able to see what the nearest equivalent is in VB.Net.

    I think it must have been an obscure third-party control or possibly some custom code. I’ve not come across Canvas before in VB6
