I can't give you the VB code - I use C#, but it is the same stuff under the hood.

To draw lines and curves, handle the forms Paint event. It has an EventArgs parameter, which contains a Graphics object.
The Graphics object supports functions like DrawLine, DrawArc, etc. which are what you need to use.

In C# we can't create global variables, and I suspect VB is the same - instead we make them part of the form or other class and access them that way.

Drawing lines - here.

Variables that need to be seen throughout app - use Public.
