Confusion About 2 Grahpics Statments

[Software Solutions]

i am currently working on Game Designing and i am reading a book named Begining.Net Game Programming in VB.net. i found 2 statments while i was reading the book. here are the two statements with details

1) 
Dim GameGraphics As Graphics
GameGraphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(PicSource.Handle)
GameGraphics.FillRectangle(New SolidBrush(Color.Red), 10, 20, 13, 7)

2) 
Dim GameGraphics As Graphics
GameGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(PicSource.Image)
GameGraphics.FillRectangle(New SolidBrush(Color.Red), 10, 20, 13, 7)

from about 2 codes the statmen Graphics.FromImage(Picsource.Image) & Graphics.FromHWND(Picsouce.Handle) when i type Graphics and press "dot" in the list i can find .fromImage but i could not see .FromHwnd but both statments after completing are working Fine.

What i want to know that why this happening. that FromHWND is not showing after pressing . but working perfectly.



Take Care
ENJOY

Try selecting the "All" tab on your Intellisense popup list rather than the default "Common" tab.
