Hello omololu,

Thank you for the post.

The error is caused by the type being used. StringFormat is from the System.Drawing namespace which is no longer used in NT8. From what I can see this conversion was not done correctly as it still is trying to use the System.Drawing syntax. This should instead be migrated to using SharpDX (OnRender) or the newer Drawing tools.

Using the older System.Drawing namespaces and objects is no longer something we can assist with in contrast to NT8, we can assist with questions related to the newer drawing frameworks such as sharpDX in OnRender or the drawing tools. If you want to continue using the code as is you would need to make the necessary modifications to point to the specific types you needed from System.Drawing and also reference that dll.


Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
