why do i get "declaration expected" on this line??

[eramgarden]

I'm working on a Image application...

 

I'm putting the code in a class:

 

But get "declaration expected" for the variable "g"

 

 

Imports System

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Imports System.Drawing

Imports System.Net

Imports System.IO

 

 

Public Class Image

 

Dim bmp As Bitmap = New Bitmap("Image.tif")

Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)

Dim boldFont As Font = New Font("Times New Roman", 10, FontStyle.Bold)

 

g.DrawString("I'm A Button!", boldFont, Brushes.Black, 10.0f, 10.0f)

 

End Class

 

any ideas?

The line highlighted needs to be executed from within a Method (function or sub) you cannot just execute code directly at the class level like that.
