Question

in vb.net i would like to draw a regular line on a form. is there a control to do this?

Answer 1

One way at design time is to use a Label control and set it’s height, or width to
1 (2px and 3D border gives a nice chiseled effect). Or else you can manually draw using GDI:

Dim myPen As New System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red)
Dim formGraphics as System.Drawing.Graphics
formGraphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 0, 0, 200, 200)
myPen.Dispose()
formGraphics.Dispose()
