sealed class

This class is the day-to-day workhorse of the GDI+ world. If you cannot find the brush you need in SystemBrushes or Brushes , and you don't need the fancy effects of the options found in System.Drawing.Drawing2D , you will be using instances of this class (derived from Brush ) to fill solid areas of color in your shapes , including the font stroke color when painting text. You can construct an instance from a Color value, and can also set and retrieve the Color through a property of that name over the lifetime of the object.

As with most GDI+ resources, this implements IDisposable and must therefore have its lifetime managed carefully , calling Dispose() when you are finished with it. As with other examples, the C# using idiom is useful here.

 public sealed class  SolidBrush  : Brush : System.Drawing.Internal.ISystemColorTracker {  // Public Constructors  public  SolidBrush  (Color  color  );  // Public Instance Properties  public Color  Color  {set; get; }  // Public Instance Methods  public override object  Clone  ();  // overrides Brush   // Protected Instance Methods  protected override void  Dispose  (bool  disposing  );  // overrides Brush  }
