How to Add Watermark to a Picture using VB.Net

This tutorial is all about How to add watermark to a picture using vb.net.

Watermark is a faint design made in some paper during manufacture, which is visible when held against the light and typically identifies the maker.

What is Visual Basic’s purpose?

The third-generation programming language was created to aid developers in the creation of Windows applications.

It has a programming environment that allows programmers to write code in.exe or executable files.

They can also utilize it to create in-house front-end solutions for interacting with huge databases.

It is because the language allows for continuing changes, you can keep coding and revising your work as needed.

However, there are some limits to the Microsoft Visual Basic download. If you want to make applications that take a long time to process, this software isn’t for you.

That implies you won’t be able to use VB to create games or large apps because the system’s graphic interface requires a lot of memory and space.

Furthermore, the language is limited to Microsoft and does not support other operating systems.

So let’s get Started:

  • First is open the Visual Basic, Select File on the menu, then click New and create a new project.
  • Then a New Project Dialog will appear. You can rename your project, depending on what you like to name it. After that click OK
  • Then design your form like this just like what I’ve shown you below.
    For this design add a Picturebox, Button, and a Textbox from the toolbox.
    The Textbox will be used to a text that will displayed as a watermark on image displayed in the PictureBox.
  • After Designing your form, Add this following Code to the “Add Watermark” Button.
[vbnet]Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim NF As New Font("Impact", 36, FontStyle.Italic)
Dim NB As New SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(64, 192, 255, 255))
NB.Color = Color.FromArgb(128, 0, 0, 0)
PictureBox1.CreateGraphics.DrawString(TextBox1.Text, NF, NB, 1, 190)
End Sub[/vbnet]
<li>Finally, Click F5 to run your Program.</li>

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this VB.NET code snippet demonstrate?

Focused VB.NET WinForms code pattern: how to add, insert, save, search, display, print, connect to SQL Server, or perform a common calculation with minimum code. Drop-in pattern you can adapt for your own capstone module.

What Visual Studio and SQL Server versions does this VB.NET project require?

Most projects use VB.NET WinForms on .NET Framework 4.5+ with SQL Server 2012 Express or higher. To run: install Visual Studio 2019 / 2022 (Community is free) with the ‘Desktop development with .NET’ workload, install SQL Server Express + SSMS, open the .sln file, build, run.

How do I set up the database for this VB.NET project?

Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to your SQL Server (e.g. localhost\SQLEXPRESS). Right-click Databases, choose Restore Database OR New Database then import the included .sql script. Update the connection string in App.config (or in code-behind Module) with your server name + credentials. Rebuild and run.

Can I use this VB.NET project for a BSIT capstone or thesis?

Yes, VB.NET is one of the most accepted languages by Philippine BSIT panels. Extend it: add role-based access (admin/staff/customer login redirect), Crystal Reports or RDLC reports, dashboards with Chart control, audit log, multi-branch support. Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.

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.

Where can I find more VB.NET projects with source code?
