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 black pen.

• Creates the coordinates of the endpoints of the line.

• Draws the line to the screen.

public:
   void DrawLineInt( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create pen.
      Pen^ blackPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Black,3.0f );

      // Create coordinates of points that define line.
      int x1 = 100;
      int y1 = 100;
      int x2 = 500;
      int y2 = 100;

      // Draw line to screen.
      e->Graphics->DrawLine( blackPen, x1, y1, x2, y2 );
   }

public void DrawLineInt(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Create pen.
    Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
             
    // Create coordinates of points that define line.
    int x1 = 100;
    int y1 = 100;
    int x2 = 500;
    int y2 = 100;
             
    // Draw line to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(blackPen, x1, y1, x2, y2);
}

Public Sub DrawLineInt(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create pen.
    Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)

    ' Create coordinates of points that define line.
    Dim x1 As Integer = 100
    Dim y1 As Integer = 100
    Dim x2 As Integer = 500
    Dim y2 As Integer = 100

    ' Draw line to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(blackPen, x1, y1, x2, y2)
End Sub

Remarks

This method draws a line connecting the two points specified by the x1, y1, x2, and y2 parameters.
