g
The destination Graphics object, where the gradient effect will be displayed.
destRect
Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.
gradientStyle
Gradient style. For possible values refer to SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.
startColor
Value that specifies the starting color.
endColor
Value that specifies the ending color.
steps
Number of gradient color steps. Valid values are 2 to 256.
g
The destination Graphics object, where the gradient effect will be displayed.
destRect
Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.
gradientStyle
Gradient style. For possible values refer to SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.
startColor
Value that specifies the starting color.
endColor
Value that specifies the ending color.
steps
Number of gradient color steps. Valid values are 2 to 256.
Draws a rectangle onto the target device context, and then fills the rectangle with a gradient that begins with the specified starting color and ends with the specified ending color.

Example

This Example shows the minimum requirements for using the GradientFillRectangle(Graphics,Rectangle,SpecialEffectsGradientStyle,Color,Color,Int32) method to draw and fill a rectangle with a color gradient.

Visual BasicCopy Code
Public Sub GradientFillRectangle(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal destRect As Rectangle)
   Dim processor As SpecialEffectsProcessor = New SpecialEffectsProcessor()
   processor.GradientFillRectangle(g, destRect, SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.EllipseToC, Color.Red, Color.Blue, 12)
End Sub
C#Copy Code
public void GradientFillRectangle(Graphics g, Rectangle destRect)
{
   SpecialEffectsProcessor processor = new SpecialEffectsProcessor();
   processor.GradientFillRectangle(g, destRect, SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.EllipseToC, Color.Red, Color.Blue, 12);
}
