How to: Load and Display Metafiles
The xref:System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile class, which inherits from the xref:System.Drawing.Image class, provides methods for recording, displaying, and examining vector images.
Example
To display a vector image (metafile) on the screen, you need a xref:System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile object and a xref:System.Drawing.Graphics object. Pass the name of a file (or a stream) to a xref:System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile constructor. After you have created a xref:System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile object, pass that xref:System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile object to the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage%2A method of a xref:System.Drawing.Graphics object.
The example creates a xref:System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile object from an EMF (enhanced metafile) file and then draws the image with its upper-left corner at (60, 10).
The following illustration shows the metafile drawn at the specified location.

Compiling the Code
The preceding example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint event handler.
