Clearing an Off-Screen Graphics Object

[T0AD]

I have created an off-screen graphics object like so:

Dim bmpOffScreen As New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)
Dim gOffScreen As Graphics.FromImage(bmpOffScreen)[\code]

I can draw to this okay, and flip it to my on-screen graphics object, but for some reason I can't clear the off-screen graphics.

I've tried:

[code]gOffScreen.Clear(Color.White)[\code]

And:

[code]gOffScreen.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)[\code]

And:

[code]bmpOffScreen = New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)
gOffScreen = Graphics.FromImage(bmpOffScreen)[\code]

[b]Help please![/b]

Thanks
Ted

Weird. I started a fresh, and the .FillRectangle method works now.

There's a thin line between genius, and insanity!
