How do I change pen color?

[nobody]

Here's setting it....
Dim PenColor As New System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red)

Now how do I change "PenColor" variable?

Or, do I have to do like this below for each color?

Dim PenColor_Red As New System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red)
Dim PenColor_Green As New System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red)

You will have to create a new pen (and dispose it when you don't need it
any more by calling its 'Dispose' method) or use one of the predefined
pens ('Pens.*').

Why use "Dispose" with managed code?

Why use "Dispose" with managed code?

Because managed code uses unmanaged resources (that need to be released).

Why use "Dispose" with managed code?

As Armin says, 'Dispose' cleans up unmanaged resources, like GDI(+) pen
objects and other handles.
