hi guys

Simple form with only one label on it that I want to rotate 180.

The following code has no errors that I can see yet it displayes nothing.

any ideas?

thank in advance

What I have tried:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub label1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles label1.Paint
label1.Text = ""
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(lblPlayer1Chips.ClientSize.Width, lblPlayer1Chips.ClientSize.Height)
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(180)
e.Graphics.DrawString("upside down", label1.Font,
Brushes.Black, RectangleF.op_Implicit(label1.ClientRectangle))
End Sub
End Class
