hey ramya try this code //This is the image where we are going to write the text on it. string stringMasterImageName = @D:\MasterImage.jpg ; Bitmap bitmapMasterImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(stringMasterImageName); Graphics graphicsMasterImage = Graphics.FromImage(bitmapMasterImage); //Set the alignment based on the coordinates StringFormat stringformatWriteTextFormat = new StringFormat(); stringformatWriteTextFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center; //Set the font color Color colorStringColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml( #000081 ); string stringText = Text Content Here ; graphicsMasterImage.DrawString(stringText new Font( Tahoma  30 FontStyle.Italic) new SolidBrush(colorStringColor) new Point(310 260) stringformatWriteTextFormat); Response.ContentType= image/jpeg ; bitmapMasterImage.Save(Response.OutputStream ImageFormat.Jpeg); //Save the new image in a physical location string stringOutPutFileName = @D:\OutPut.jpg ; bitmapMasterImage.Save(stringOutPutFileName); hope it helps. any query inform me.

hey ramya There are basically 6 steps for my sample: Load your image: // Load the Image to be written on. Bitmap bitMapImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(Server.MapPath(  dallen.jpg ) ); Graphics graphicImage = Graphics.FromImage( bitMapImage ); Set the graphics to be smooth. // Smooth graphics is nice. graphicImage.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; Write your text. Here is where you set your font. The X and Y coordinates are in the new point. (100 = X 250 = Y). // Write your text. graphicImage.DrawString(  That's my boy!  new Font(  Arial  12 FontStyle.Bold ) SystemBrushes.WindowText new Point( 100  250 ) ); Draw your oval around the text. Note: play around with the numbers to make the oval to the correct size that you want. // I am drawing a oval around my text. graphicImage.DrawArc( new Pen(Color.Red 3 ) 90  235  150  50  0  360 ); Set the Content Type to jpg and then write your image to the response stream. // Set the content type Response.ContentType=  image/jpeg ; // Save the new image to the response output stream. bitMapImage.Save(Response.OutputStream ImageFormat.Jpeg); Clean up. // Clean house. graphicImage.Dispose(); bitMapImage.Dispose();

You mentioned in your first post that you want to draw the text dynamically. If you mean by that you want to give the user the ability to specify the location of text before drawing it you can do this using Annotations objects. The user can load the image add the text annotation object on it change its location and then draw (burn) the text object on the image so that the text becomes part of image's pixel data. We used in one of our internal-use application a similar feature from a commercial toolkit- leadtools. If you are interested you can find more information on their website .

Hi Ramya It seems you are trying to have a text into an image. if you need to do like this please use the following code snippet to achieve the same var xValue = Tamil valga! Tamil Valarga!! + Cursor.Position.X .ToString(); // Get the Value of text var taskIcon = new Bitmap(100 100); // Get a bitmap var font = new Font( TimesNewRoman  27 System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel); // Get a font var graphics = Graphics.FromImage(taskIcon); // Get a graphics with the bitmap image graphics.DrawString(xValue font Brushes.Red new PointF(0 0)); // Add the text value in the graphics graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; // Smoothing the pixel graphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias; // Smoothing the text rendering because stem width may differ The similar this I have used in one of my article which is as follows.
