You should be able to piece the code together yourself from MSDN and
the numerous .NET Compact Framework books on the market. The code below
is the simplest of examples.
Pen p = new Pen(Color.White);
Brush b = new SolidBrush(Color.White);
Font f = new Font("Arial", 10.0F, FontStyle.Bold);
// - have some bitmap
// - avoid drawing directly on the screen
Bitmap offscreenBmp = new Bitmap(@"\My Documents\My Pictures\Flower.jpg");
// - draw lines and text into it
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(offscreenBmp);
g.DrawLine(p, 0, 65, 240, 65);
g.DrawString("This is some text", f, b, 70, 50);
// - put it onto screen (as a whole with a fast copy
// operation or similar)
pictureBox1.Image = offscreenBmp;
