Hi All,
I have never worked with C#, I am just going to ask a simple question,
Are system.drawing classes suppored in Web(ASP.NET) applications, or say can
you draw line or text in a Web application?

Thanks.

Wanjun,

For the use that you want, no, they are not supported. ASP.NET depends
on modifying the markup that is sent to the browser. You can use the
System.Drawing classes, but they are used in ASP.NET for things like dynamic
image manipulation/generation, and the like.

Hope this helps.
 
Nicholas,
What exactly you mean by "they are used in ASP.NET for things like dynamic
image manipulation/generation"? They can be used to draw over a image?

Thanks.

Wanjun,

They can be used to make modifications on the server side to an image.
That image would then have to be referenced in an ASP.NET page. You can't
write on the browser surface directly.
