Hi Manoj,

The graphics object in Wpf is different than Winforms since Wpf uses Vector Graphics. In Wpf you will be using a DrawingVisual, DrawingContext, FormattedText and a BitmapImage, the DrawingContext is equivalent to the Graphics object in Winforms. This is a quick example to show what I mean.

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    Grid myGrid = new Grid();
    BitmapImage bmp = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"C:\temp\test.jpg")); //Use the path to your Image
    DrawingVisual dv = new DrawingVisual();
    DrawingContext dc = dv.RenderOpen();
    dc.DrawImage(bmp, new Rect(100, 100, 300, 300));
    dc.DrawText(new FormattedText("Hello World",
                CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us"),
                FlowDirection.LeftToRight,
                new Typeface("Arial"),
                30, System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Black),
                new System.Windows.Point(100, 120));
    dc.Close();
    myGrid.Background = new VisualBrush(dv);
    this.Content = myGrid;
}
