Don't forget to dispose Graphics object. I added a line to Kirtan's code. private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { Graphics g = this .CreateGraphics(); Pen p = new Pen ( Color .Red 1.0f); g.DrawLine(p 10 40 100 100); g.Dipose(); }

Write code like below Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:Table Normal; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Calibrisans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Times New Roman; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} void Form1_Paint( object sender PaintEventArgs e) { } private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { Graphics g = this .CreateGraphics(); Pen p = new Pen ( Color .Red 1.0f); g.DrawLine(p 10 40 100 100); } it will work
