Parameters

• bitmap
  Type: System.Drawing.Bitmap

  The Bitmap to be drawn to.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DrawToBitmap method and the ClientRectangle property to draw an OvalShape on a PictureBox control.

private void form1_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    System.Drawing.Bitmap pic = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(this.pictureBox1.Image, 
        pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
    System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = new System.Drawing.Rectangle();
    // Assign the client rectangle.
    rect = ovalShape1.ClientRectangle;
    // Draw the oval on the bitmap.
    ovalShape1.DrawToBitmap(pic, rect);
    pictureBox2.Image = pic;
}

Private Sub Form1_Load() Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim pic As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(Me.PictureBox1.Image, 
      PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
    Dim rect As New System.Drawing.Rectangle
    ' Assign the client rectangle.
    rect = OvalShape1.ClientRectangle
    ' Draw the oval on the bitmap.
    OvalShape1.DrawToBitmap(pic, rect)
    PictureBox2.Image = pic
End Sub
