Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

  • Creates a Bitmap.

  • Sets the color of each pixel in the bitmap to black.

  • Draws the bitmap.

Private Sub SetPixel_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create a Bitmap object from a file.
    Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap("Grapes.jpg")

    ' Draw myBitmap to the screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(myBitmap, 0, 0, myBitmap.Width, _
    myBitmap.Height)

    ' Set each pixel in myBitmap to black.
    Dim Xcount As Integer
    For Xcount = 0 To myBitmap.Width - 1
        Dim Ycount As Integer
        For Ycount = 0 To myBitmap.Height - 1
            myBitmap.SetPixel(Xcount, Ycount, Color.Black)
        Next Ycount
    Next Xcount

    ' Draw myBitmap to the screen again.
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(myBitmap, myBitmap.Width, 0, myBitmap.Width, _
