Then add this Imports above Public Class Form1

Then add this code into PictureBox`s Paint in Events

Code: Select all

        Dim txt = "Tvs" & vbCrLf & "Praveen"
        Dim font_size As Single = 64
        Dim text_path As New GraphicsPath()
        Dim font_family As New FontFamily("Comic Sans MS")
        ' Add text to the path.
        text_path.AddString(txt, _
              font_family, _
       System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, _
              font_size, _
              New PointF(5, 5), _
             System.Drawing.StringFormat.GenericDefault)
        ' Get the text's width and height.
        Dim txt_size As SizeF = _
            e.Graphics.MeasureString(txt, _
                New Font(font_family, _
                    font_size, _
                    FontStyle.Bold, _
                    GraphicsUnit.Pixel))
        ' Fill the path with a gradient.
        e.Graphics.FillPath( _
            New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush( _
                New Point(5, 5), _
                New Point(5 + txt_size.Width, 5 + txt_size.Height), _
                Color.Red, _
                Color.Yellow), _
            text_path)
        ' Outline the path.
        e.Graphics.DrawPath(Pens.DarkBlue, text_path)
    End Sub
