I did this inside of the forms paint method. Hope it helps.

Private Sub Main_Paint(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.PaintEven tArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
Dim Pen As New Pen(Color.Mediu mBlue, 2)
Dim TopLine As Integer = 150
Dim BottomLine As Integer = 388
e.Graphics.Draw Line(Pen, 0, TopLine, 640, TopLine)
End Sub

'Pen' objects should be disposed if they are not needed any more. It's
better to store the 'Pen' object in a private variable, for example, instead
of creating a new pen every time the form is drawn.

Alternatively you can use a label control with width or height set to 2, and
'BorderStyle' set to 'Fixed3D' to create an inset line.

Thanks for the info. If I use the same pen for the life of the form
should I still dispose of it when the form is closed, or will the
auto-disposing of the form take care of it for me?

You may want to call the pen's 'Dispose' method in the form's overridden
'Dispose' method.

Re: Line across form
Your answer worked best, I used the simple label control, set it to black and
resized using the mouse. Did it in less than a second and I didn't have to
write one line of code. Thank you.
