Hi Martin,

The code snipped you refered in your post should work fine. Just that we
  need to ensure the printing happens in the right order, like the image
first and the text next in our case.

Try the following code in a sample form button click event, with a valid
image bitmap. The text should appear on top of the image.

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
        Graphics g = CreateGraphics();
        Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 100);
        Bitmap b= new Bitmap(@"SampleImage.jpg");
        g.DrawImage(b, rect);
        g.DrawString("TEXT", new Font("Impact", 20), new SolidBrush(Color.Red),
new Point(10, 10));
}

I doubt if some other event causes invalidation of the canvas and the
text is printed before the image, just a thought. Have a relook at the
paint event of the canvas.

HTH,
APG.
