2D graphic library for windows form application

I need a 2d graphic library for windows form application(Visual studio 2010).I used to work with SDL in console applications.It was really great:simple and powerful开发者_StackOverflow社区.But a friend of mine told me that it won't work in windows form application.Can you please suggest me a good library for 2d drawing in form applications written in C++?Or is there a way to use SDL in windows form applications? *it would be great if it has these features: load .bmp and .gif and popular image formats. Simple to learn. Draw text and simple 2d shapes.

Thanks.

(Sorry for my bad english)

SDL supports Windows. You should be able to use SDL by just using a Window's Handle from a control in Windows Forms. For example, if you initialize SDL to use the a "panel" by passing the panel->Handle property as the HWND, it should work fine.

Alternatively, you can use Windows Form's built-in drawing in the System.Drawing namespace.
