    <p>Im a little bit confused because I can display every string with every font on my windows form but as an image it is not always possible. Maybe there is just something wrong with my code. But let me show you what I was trying.</p> <p>At first I have this:</p> <pre><code> Label l = new Label(); l.Text = "Ì CSharp Î"; this.Font = new Font("Code 128", 80); l.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(300, 200); this.Controls.Add(l); this.Size = new Size(300, 200); </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7WYTf.jpg" alt="string + code 128 font in windows form"></p> <p>Well this is very fine. Now I would like to try to save the same string with the same font as image. I found this code and I thought thats how to do this</p> <pre><code> private static Image DrawText(string text, Font font, Color textColor, Color backColor) { //first, create a dummy bitmap just to get a graphics object Image img = new Bitmap(1, 1); Graphics drawing = Graphics.FromImage(img); //measure the string to see how big the image needs to be SizeF textSize = drawing.MeasureString(text, font); //free up the dummy image and old graphics object img.Dispose(); drawing.Dispose(); //create a new image of the right size img = new Bitmap((int)textSize.Width, (int)textSize.Height); drawing = Graphics.FromImage(img); //paint the background drawing.Clear(backColor); //create a brush for the text Brush textBrush = new SolidBrush(textColor); drawing.DrawString(text, font, textBrush, 0, 0); drawing.Save(); textBrush.Dispose(); drawing.Dispose(); return img; } var i = DrawText("Ì CSharp Î", new Font("Code 128", 40), Color.Black, Color.White); </code></pre> <p>If I save the image I get this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xPtC7.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I dont get it. Im using the same string and the same font as I used it on my windows form. Why is that so? And how to avoid this problem?</p> <p>PS: The font that Im using was downloaded <a href="http://www.jtbarton.com/Barcodes/Code128.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> but I tested it with other fonts too and its not always working.</p>

    1. COUnlikely, but maybe using a different font size is effecting things?

    3. COI actually meant that the label is size 80, the image size 40 (i.e. different). But I'm guessing it won't make a difference.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
