Manoj you are able to fetch text from your database. So now use below code: (01.) If you having image in your application. Then use below: string m_FetchedText; var image = Image.FromFile(d:\temp\image01.jpg); using (var graphics = Graphics.FromImage(image)) { var font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif 16.0f); graphics.DrawString(m_FetchedText font Brushes.Red new Point(10 10)); } image.Save(d:\temp\image_image02.jpg); (02.) If you don't have image in your application. Then use below: private Image CreateImage(String text Font font Color textColor Color backColor) { //first create a dummy bitmap just to get a graphics object Image img = new Bitmap(1 1); Graphics drawing = Graphics.FromImage(img); //measure the string to see how big the image needs to be SizeF textSize = drawing.MeasureString(text font); //free up the dummy image and old graphics object img.Dispose(); drawing.Dispose(); //create a new image of the right size img = new Bitmap((int) textSize.Width (int)textSize.Height); drawing = Graphics.FromImage(img); //paint the background drawing.Clear(backColor); //create a brush for the text Brush textBrush = new SolidBrush(textColor); drawing.DrawString(text font textBrush 0 0); drawing.Save(); textBrush.Dispose(); drawing.Dispose(); return img; } If this is helpful for you then please accept my Answer .
