Syntax

'Declaración
Public Overrides Sub DrawToBitmap ( _
    bitmap As Bitmap, _
    targetBounds As Rectangle _
)

public:
virtual void DrawToBitmap(
    Bitmap^ bitmap, 
    Rectangle targetBounds
) override

abstract DrawToBitmap : 
        bitmap:Bitmap * 
        targetBounds:Rectangle -> unit 
override DrawToBitmap : 
        bitmap:Bitmap * 
        targetBounds:Rectangle -> unit 

public override function DrawToBitmap(
    bitmap : Bitmap, 
    targetBounds : Rectangle
)

Parameters

• bitmap
  Type: System.Drawing.Bitmap
  The Bitmap to be drawn to.

• targetBounds
  Type: System.Drawing.Rectangle
  The Rectangle within which the LineShape is rendered.

Remarks

If the x or y coordinates or the width or height parameters of targetBounds are less than 0, an ArgumentException is thrown.

Examples

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

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

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;
}
