Question

G'day,
I want to do the equivalent of drawing an 'X' on an image of a map.
Can someone please give a quick direction how to do this.

Thanks,

Geoff

To be a bit more specific....

It works when I use nothing as the base
<code>
Dim objBitmap = New Bitmap(350, 200)
Dim objGraphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(objBitmap)
</code>

 
But nothing happens when I use
<code>
Dim objBitmap = New Bitmap(Server.MapPath("image/Map.jpg"),350,200)
Dim objGraphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(objBitmap)
</code>

It's probably something very obvious.  Thanks
