I created new userControl empty & used paint event and drawstring but have bugs help:

[Chocolade]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class NewsControl : UserControl
    {
        public NewsControl()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void NewsControl_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            // Create string to draw.
            String drawString = "Sample Text";
            // Create font and brush.
            Font drawFont = new Font("Arial", 16);
            SolidBrush drawBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
            // Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.
            float x = 150.0F;
            float y = 50.0F;
            // Set format of string.
            StringFormat drawFormat = new StringFormat();
            drawFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical;
            // Draw string to screen.
            e.Graphics.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, x, y, drawFormat);
        }
    }
}

I drag the control from the toolbox to form1 and i see in it Sample Text and when i run my program nothing is shown up in the control.

I tried in the control code to put in the end : this.Refresh(); and this.Validate() ;

But then when im doing rebuild project my program got stuck and the control in the form1 designer is blinking before i even run the application.

Whats wrong here?



Thanks.
