How to: Create Vertical Text
You can use a xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat object to specify that text be drawn vertically rather than horizontally.
Example
The following example assigns the value xref:System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical to the xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat.FormatFlags%2A property of a xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat object. That xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat object is passed to the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A method of the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics class. The value xref:System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical is a member of the xref:System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags enumeration.
The following illustration shows the vertical text:
[!code-csharpSystem.Drawing.FontsAndText#31] [!code-vbSystem.Drawing.FontsAndText#31]
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 xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler.
