What is the equivalent to Java's canvas object in C#?
- by Winston
I'm working on creating a basic application that will let a user draw (using a series of points) and I plan to do something with these points.
If this were Java, I think I would probably use a canvas object and some Java2D calls to draw what I want.
All the tutorials I've read on C#/Drawing involve writing your own paint method and adding it to the paint event for the form. However, I'm interested in having some traditional Form controls as well and I don't want to be drawing over them. So, is there a "Canvas" object where I can constrain what I'm drawing on?
Also, is WinForms a poor choice given this use case? Would WPF have more features that would help enable me to do what I want? Or Silverlight?
