Thanks & Regards Mishra

Try the following code :

Dim g As Graphics = Me.Creategraphics 'or use other control on which you are drawing ur string.
Dim str As String = "Your String"
Dim myfont As New Font("Times New Roman", 16, FontStyle.Regular)
Dim txtsize As SizeF
txtsize = g.MeasureString(str, myfont)
Dim rect As RectangleF = New RectangleF(New PointF(0, 0), txtsize)
Dim mybrush As Brush = New LinearGradientBrush(rect, Color.Blue, Color.Blue, LinearGradientMode.ForwardDiagonal)
g.DrawString(str, myfont, mybrush, New Point(20,20))

Hope,you got what you wanted!

Change the ForeColor property of the Label or TextBox that you use to display the string value.

myLabel.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue
