Drawing a String on C# webpage

Question

I want to know how do I create an Engraving function like on this website?

http://www.bluenile.com/product_engraving?engrave_action=add_to_existing_item&is_ring=1&lineID=47017522&oid=20375&ring_size=7

I have already googled about it, it seems like using Graphics.DrawString Method..

But all the tutorial is in windows form C# (not on webpage)..

Any idea how do I start?

Thank you..

You have several options:

1. Use the System.Drawing namespace to create a bitmap to draw onto with Graphics object and then save the image to file or stream it to the browser for display. Check out Creating Images on the Fly with ASP.NET for a tutorial.
2. Use SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Check out SVG Tutorial.
3. Use HTML5 Canvas. Check out Getting Started with the HTML 5 Canvas for a tutorial.
