I need help drawing in C#. How do I draw on a picture box that scrolls in a panel without the lines erasing?
So the layout is like this:
Panel component
Inside panel is PictureBox (allows a wider and taller picture than the form
When I draw lines on the picturebox they erase. How do I prevent this? |

Handle the PictureBox's Paint event and draw your lines in there. The event should be called automatically, but you can force it by calling Invalidate on the PictureBox.
As an example, I dropped one Panel onto a form, named panel1. I set its AutoScroll property to true. I then dropped another Panel into it, named panel2, and added this event handler:
Code:
private void panel2_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, 0, 100, 100);
}

I have one more question. Is it easy to get the mouse coordinates when it is in a panel box? I'm using the panel box to create a graph and I want when the mouse is over data on the graph to display what it is. So I guess what I need is to know how to get the specific coordinates in a panel box when the mouse is over it to display the relevant data.

| You can get the current mouse position by handling the MouseMove event of the control. |

How do I pass a multidimensional array to:
Code:
private void pnlGraph_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
int index = 0;
while (index != 530)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, index, 1600, index);
index = index + 10;
}
}

I'm afraid I don't follow what you mean; what are you using the array for?
Also, what's wrong with for loops? 
Code:
private void pnlGraph_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
for (int index = 0; index < 530; index += 10)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, index, 1600, index);
}
}

| What I mean is I declared an array in another procedure ie a different button click and I need to pass those values to the paint procedure to use in order to draw on the screen. |

You could store the array as a member field of the class that contains the event handler for the button click and panel paint.

I'm not sure what your code looks like at the moment!
Code:
class Form1 : Form {
private int[,] SomeMultidimensionalArray = new int[10, 10];
private void btnSomeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Manipulate the array in some fashion.
this.SomeMultidimensionalArray[0, 2] = 102;
// Force a repaint with the new data.
this.pnlGraph.Invalidate();
}
private void pnlGraph_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
// Paint using this.SomeMultidimensionalArray;
}
}
