Rotating Text on a Picture Box

Hi,

Is there anyway to rotate text on a picture box other than using the vertical text flag like this? Custome angles would be nice too.

Have a look at this control that I just whipped up:


public class TextControl : System.Windows.Forms.Control
{
public TextControl()
{
}

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;

using (StringFormat format = new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical))
{
using (SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(ForeColor))
{
g.DrawString(Text, Font, brush, 0, 0, format);
}
}
}
}
