How to apply RotateTransform to this control?

Is this for silverlight?

RotateTransform rt = new RotateTransform();

//rotate 90 clockwise
rt.Angle = 90;
//normal rotation is top left corner.  Setting to 0.5,0.5 rotates about the center.
rt.CenterX = 0.5;
rt.CenterY = 0.5;

myBmp.RenderTransform = rt;

Hi ged325,

I am sorry for not making it clear. It is not for silverlight. It is a Windows User Control.

Unfortunately looks like you'll need WPF, which the above should apply for.  It doesn't look like it's possible in a normal windows application.

Give this a shot.

using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
		{
			Graphics g = e.Graphics;

			Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black);

			g.RotateTransform(45.0f);  // rotate 45'
			g.TranslateTransform(this.ClientSize.Width / 2, this.ClientSize.Height  / 2, MatrixOrder.Append);           // translate

			g.DrawRectangle(pen,new Rectangle(-100, -40, 200, 80));
			g.DrawEllipse(pen, -100, -40, 200, 80);
		}

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply. But what I have to do is this:

Quite similar to what you said but I have to set the region to the drawn area so that not drawn area will get clipped. So I have to do the following:

In addition to code of yours, I have to do this

Matrix M = new Matrix();
            // Translate the Origin to Center of the control in the matrix
            M.Translate(ClientRectangle.Width / 2, ClientRectangle.Height / 2);
            // If needs to be rotated then apply rotation as well for the above matrix
            if (SprayDirection == Spray_Direction.Left)
                M.RotateAt(90f, Center);
            else if (SprayDirection == Spray_Direction.Right)
                M.RotateAt(-90f, Center);
            // Re-compute all the graphics path points to the newly created matrix order
            gp.Transform(M);
            // Apply to the region
            Region rgn = new Region(gp);
