    When ever I run my program I get the following error and the toolbar is replaced with a white box and red X through it. I might be wrong but I bleieve it is something to do with the paint method so I posted up the code for my Paint method. i havn't made any changes to the OnPaint incase any one is wondering.

    Any help on this would be great as it's been doing my nut in for ages.
