Hello,
I'm not sure where to begin. I need to draw text vertically and dynamically. It needs to change often.

Any ideas where to start?

Have you checked into the GDI+ library?

If you're going for a 90 degree angle, then you can just override Paint and use DrawString with StringFormat.DirectionVertical.

If you want arbitrary angles, you can use the TranslateTransform from GDI+ as shown in this article.
