The following code example demonstrates how to use the PointConverter and the Subtraction operator. This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Paste this code into a form and call the ShowPointConverter method when handling the form's Paint event, passing e as PaintEventArgs.
private void ShowPointConverter(PaintEventArgs e) { // Create the PointConverter. System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter converter = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Point)); Point point1 = (Point) converter.ConvertFromString("200, 200"); // Use the subtraction operator to get a second point. Point point2 = point1 - new Size(190, 190); // Draw a line between the two points. e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, point1, point2); }
