Brush Class
Defines objects used to fill the interiors of graphical shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, pies, polygons, and paths.
Namespace: System.Drawing
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The Brush type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Clone | When overridden in a derived class, creates an exact copy of this Brush. |
| CreateObjRef | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| Dispose() | Releases all resources used by this Brush object. |
| Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Brush and optionally releases the managed resources. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Overrides Object.Finalize().) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetLifetimeService | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone(Boolean) | Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
| SetNativeBrush | In a derived class, sets a reference to a GDI+ brush object. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
This is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated. To create a brush object, use classes derived from Brush, such as SolidBrush, TextureBrush, and LinearGradientBrush.
Notes to InheritorsWhen you inherit from the Brush class, you must override the Clone method.
