Ellipses, Lines, Polygons, and More |
ASP.NET and Windows Forms Versions |
The Problem:
Visual Studio.NET does not have lines, circles, rectangles, or other shapes available in the Toolbox. Nor does it have a "Tool Palette" for drawing these objects on the form. Code solutions are fairly difficult to implement and customize. In both Windows and ASP.NET applications, developers typically make their shapes as external graphics. These must then be recreated each time the application changes. Changing shapes dynamically is next to impossible.
The Solution:
The Shape control gives you the ability to easily create the shapes you want. Want a circle on your screen? Drag the Shape from the Toolbox. Change its dimensions by resizing its bounding rectangle. Use the Properties window or your code to set its shape type, fill and border effects (linear gradient, path gradient, texture, etc.), colors, "smoothing," and more. Create ellipses, rectangles, lines, arrows, triangles, and other polygons. Change shapes instantaneously. Better yet, do this in either your ASP.NET or Windows applications. In ASP.NET, you can choose to have your shapes stored as external files or streamed right to the browser! And when you use external files, you get lots of options as to when to rewrite the image.
The Uses:
The Shape control is for those developers that want to spice up the look of their applications. Create awesome graphical objects very easily with its built-in Designer. The Windows version even automatically adjusts its Region, meaning that its bounding rectangle doesn't cover up other objects, unlike showing a graphic in a PictureBox!
