How do I use Console Ap Graphic Drawings in Windows Form?

Question

Hey everyone I'm rather new to c# and I am absolutely stumped with this. I've spent the last week googling every possible corner with every possible phrasing and cannot find a result.

Basically, I have a Map.CS and a Graphic.CS that draws a basic graphic with a bunch of boxes in console application. Now I need this to run in Windows Form but Map myMap = new Map(); does not work... I've tried text, rich text, picturebox and a few other toolboxes and none of them seems to display the graphic.

I'll give an example as to what I did in richtextbox:
What I would get is an error from the myMap(); part saying "The name 'myMap' does not exist in the current context.

what do I do?

Thank you!

PS. Oh yeah, I am basically self taught with windows form, for a project thats suppose to run solely on console application. so apologies if i am asking a really really dumb and obvious question.

[code]
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            Map myMap = new Map();
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        public void richTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           
        }

    }
}

the Map.cs
[code]

        public Map()
        {
            Graphic.initializeCanvas();
            Graphic.drawBox(2, 4, 55, 19, "Blue", "White", 6); //draw the actual map
            Graphic.drawString(26, 2, "MAP", "Yellow"); //draw the map title
            Graphic.drawString(60, 4, "COORDINATES", "Yellow");
            Graphic.drawString(60, 6, "4 - 15", "Yellow");

            Graphic.drawBox(60, 9, 2, 1, "Green", null, 0);
            Graphic.drawString(62, 9, " - Base Camp", "Yellow");

            Graphic.drawBox(60, 11, 2, 1, "Blue", null, 0);
            Graphic.drawString(62, 11, " - Unexplored", "Yellow");

            Graphic.drawBox(60, 13, 2, 1, "Red", null, 0);
            Graphic.drawString(62, 13, " - Explored", "Yellow");

            Graphic.drawBox(60, 15, 2, 1, "Yellow", null, 0);
            Graphic.drawString(62, 15, " - Selection", "Yellow");

            Graphic.drawString(60, 20, "(Arrow Keys to Move)", "Yellow");
            Graphic.drawString(60, 21, "(Enter to Select)", "Yellow");
