I am currently working in C# with wpf, I don't know about graphics, I want to learn about GDI and graphics from scratch, Can anyone help me by providing some basic knowledge or material?

Can anyone tell me to write very first program using Gdi?

A: 

I would advise you to take a look at the msdn, usually they have the best resource on the web. Also some tutorial website like code-project.com might help.

A: 

If you want to learn about WPF I really suggest "Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed" http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Presentation-Foundation-Unleashed-WPF/dp/0672328917

Also check out this video from the PDC - Mastering WPF Graphics and beyond: http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/CL31

And if you still want to check out GDI you should read this book http://www.amazon.com/NET-Game-Programming-DirectX-9-0/dp/1590590511/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259061198&sr=1-1

It starts out with GDI+ basics and then moves on to DirectX. Even though it's written for VB.NET you'll get a great deal out of it as a c# developer as well. It helped me back in the days and writing the games in the book is just downright fun :p

(Hint: There is a huge performance issue with the first example in the book, try to solve it, it'll help you understand things even better).
