Oriented Button in Windows Forms

imageThe following class is a button which can be oriented both horizontally and vertically (like in the picture of your left). Text and image react properly to this orientation and so do their Alignments. The control also includes customizable margins for the text and image inside the button and a SizePercent property for the Image. Please keep in mind that if Orientation is set to “Horizontal”, the normal Draw methods from the base class are called, so all of this properties are ignored. However, you can change this behavior or add any other property very easily if you need it.
The whole thing has been designed to use as less resources as possible (accept suggestions on this of course ;), but you can very easily add other features, like a PictureBox for the image rendering (re-using all the PictureBox features as: BorderStyle, SizeMode, etc).
You can just copy-paste the following parts of code into a class which inherits from Button, and you´ll have it. Something like this:
public class OrientedButton : Button
Hope it helps:
