in GDI+ how to pass graphics to image

Question

In C# I am drawing things on panel using creategraphics , and I need to pass these things to an image or a bitmap, how can I do that? thank you

Answer 1

You can draw directly to an Image by calling Graphics.FromImage .

You can draw a Control to a Bitmap by calling Control.DrawToBitmap

By the way, the correct way to draw to a control is to handle its Paint event and draw to e.Graphics in it. If you draw a control using CreateGraphics , it will be erased when the control is redrawn (eg, if you drag a window over it pre-Vista)
