How can i draw graphics in a picturebox

When i try to draw something in apicturebox, it isn't shown.

I use this command

Dim G As System.Drawing.Graphics = picturebox1.CreateGraphics()

G.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, 0, 200, 200)

If iinstead picturebox1.creategraphics write me.creategraphics, the line is drawn on the background, so the command should work. Just not in the picturebox

With "Me.CreateGraphics", you're drawing on the form, not the picture box. You'll be drawing *behind* the PB so can't see the output. Always do your drawing in a Paint event, you'll lose the graphics when the form or PB repaints itself.
