Creating a Bitmap Object

[Hoagie]

I am working on developing a small program that will allow me to write some text to a bitmap and then save that bitmap.

Can someone point me to a tutorial on creating a bitmap object and being about to draw to it (like with the 'Print' command)?

I relize I can write to a PictureBox and save it as a bitmap (at least, I think I can), but am not sure how to save that bitmap as a size other then what is in the PictureBox. The image can be as large as 740x480... that's a big PictureBox. :(

Many thanks for any help!

A solution would be to create the BIG picturebox, but keep it hidden and allow only a window of it to be shown. I have posted a code to make a scrollable picturebox at
