I'll try to be brief in this post. I'm working on a cave generation program that will implement cell automata and marching squares.
I'm new to Visual Basic and am wondering if the Canvas class is the best way to draw these black & white squares.

For a reference the goal is something similar to this:

Let me know what you think the best graphical option would be for this. I'm looking for something simple and easy to learn!
