Paint System using Visual Basic 2013
Visual Basic.Net has a large number of graphics-related features. It is possible to draw shapes and lines, create and manipulate images, mix text and graphics, and use a wide range of colors by using the appropriate commands.
The subject of computer graphics, and specifically the graphical capabilities of VB.Net, is deserving of its own book or website.
In these pages, we will not go too far into the possibilities of VB.Net’s graphics library. We will, however, investigate some of its useful features by creating a fully functional graphic image creation application.
The program is based on the Windows Paint program from Microsoft. It allows the user to create simple graphic images and save them to a file.
This Paint System is developed using Visual Basic 2013 for my compliance in Computer Programming subject. it is very convenient to use and easy to learn even for kids.
You just have to tap any color you want and hold your cursor in the form and it will give you the output that you want. It has lots of colors that let you draw and fill or change the background color.

Why am I getting ‘connection error’ or ‘cannot find SQL Server’?
Three common VB.NET issues: (1) Connection error: SQL Server isn’t running. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager and verify SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service is started. (2) Wrong server name in connection string. Try .\SQLEXPRESS, (local)\SQLEXPRESS, or your machine name. (3) Login failed: SQL Server is set to ‘Windows-only’ authentication. Switch to Mixed Mode in SSMS Server Properties, Security.
