There's no such thing as Visual Studio 6 .NET. VS6 was the last version of VS before the .NET era. It includes VB6, which was the last version of VB before the .NET era.

The next version was VS.NET, also known as VS.NET 2002, and that was followed by VS.NET 2003, VS 2005 and VS 2008. Those all included similarly named versions of VB.

If you really are using VB6 then we can't help you because this is an exclusively VB.NET site. If you are using VB.NET then please tell us which version. Your profile says Vb 2005. Is that actually the case?

Thread moved to more appropriate forum.

You have a few different options:

1. Use a TableLayoutPanel where each cell is a square on the board.
2. Use a PictureBox containing an Image of the board.
3. Use GDI+ to draw the board grid directly onto the form or another control.

Which do you think you'd want to go with? You might want to do a bit of reading on each topic.

This is VB.Net site, so you use VB.Net language when posting here, I translated your code with an online converter.

Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
    e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Blue, 0, 0, 50, 50)
End Sub
