So for this application first we will create a new windows application and add textbox, button and an image control in the form.

Now we generate the button click event, and add the below code as shown below.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 {     public partial class Form1 : Form     {         public Form1()         {             InitializeComponent();         }         //how to convert text into image in c# In Windows Application         private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)         {             if (textBox1.Text == "")             {                 MessageBox.Show("Please enter some value.");             }             else             {                 pictureBox1.Image = DrawText(textBox1.Text);             }         }         public Image ConvertImageToText(string textValue)         {             Image img = new Bitmap(200, 30, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format64bppArgb);             Graphics drawing = Graphics.FromImage(img);             SizeF textSize = drawing.MeasureString(textValue, new Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold));             img.Dispose();             drawing.Dispose();             img = new Bitmap((int)textSize.Width, (int)textSize.Height);             drawing = Graphics.FromImage(img);             drawing.Clear(Color.Black);             Brush textBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White);             drawing.DrawString(text, new Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold), textBrush, new PointF(0.4F, 2.4F));             drawing.Save();             textBrush.Dispose();             drawing.Dispose();             return img;         }     } }

In above code I have created a function whose return type is image and then bind the function to the picture box control by passing the textbox value as a method parameter. Now we have done run the application to check the output.
