Re: Graphics.TextRenderingHint throw exception?

I bet you're caching one you've been given.

The owner will call dispose on it an you'll be left with a disposed reference.

Don't cache Graphics objects.

Mind you, if you just posted all the code instead of feeding us snippets and frustration we'd be able to see and point out the mistakes instead of having to get the ideas through a process of divination...

I still can't figure this out. Some how I invalidate the Graphics object.

Graphics.Save
Graphics.TextRenderHint
Graphics.MeasureString

all throw ArgumentException "Parameter is not valid.", and I'm not disposing it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Schneider

Under some cases Graphics.TextRenderingHint and also Graphics.Save throws an exception?

I can't seem to understand why. or what I'm doing wrong? and the error message is useless.

Anyone know whats going on?

Thanks
