tnx for help... i didnt want to draw line during form load, but during working with program... so that was ma problem... but my friend helped me... instead of "Graphics g = e.Graphics " you can use "Graphics g = CreateGraphics();" That way you dont have to pass any Graphical argument to your function :)

hi if the problem in passing the e ...as what u understand to write the line Graphics g = e.Graphics so u should be aware that the function u use contains the PaintEvenArgs private void Form1_Paint(object sender,System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) be sure that your function arguments are like that to define the Graphics g

There is a great book out that would have all the answers you'll need, lets see, what is it called? yes, thats it "Graphics Programing with GDI+" that would be a great place to start. Have fun Mike
