String formating issue

[jvencl]

I am formatting a string to put onto a report. The string needs to be vertical because it is displaying a Height value. I dim a format and set a formatflag of .directionvertical like this ...

Dim format As New StringFormat
format.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical

The issue is that the string is facing the worng way on the report. (i.e. the bottom of a 2 faces the left edge of the paper instead of the right edge). There are no extra parameters to pass into this property. Does anyone have any ideas?

I know it's not the biggest issue in the world, but still an issue.

How are you using the StringFormat, as a parameter of the System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString method or in a different manner?
If you are using the DrawString method of the Graphics class, you could use the System.Drawing.Graphics.RotateTransform method to rotate the graphics object 180 degrees then draw the string.
