Yet another tribute to both you and Tim for the outstanding .NET support you provide here. I know I read everything either of you posts. Terrific work, guys. Not taking anything at all away from those who have already been officially recognized for their contributions, just saying I hope the club gets a little bigger.

MVP! MVP! MVP! ;-)

>IAC, obviously the example in the 'how to use it' bit won't work as is (cardsdll class isn't instantiated and the enums need to be cast) This worked for me:

   public partial class Form1 : Form
>    {
>        public Form1()
>        {
>        }
>
>        protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
>        {
>            base.OnPaint(e);
>            cards.cardsdll dll = new cards.cardsdll();
>            IntPtr hdc = e.Graphics.GetHdc();
>            dll.drawcard(hdc, 0, 0, ((int)ranks.FIVE) * 4 + (int)suits.CLUBS);
>            e.Graphics.ReleaseHdc(hdc);
>        }
>     }

with the cardsdll class used as-is in the same project.
