Hey I got some quetions

Question 1:
I have a image that is in a picturebox which is called pictureBox1

I want to read monstersetbase.txt and add small ellipses to my image. The position of the ellipse comes from my monstersetbase.txt. The image is 256x256 and the coordinates is example 125x150.

I figured out a way to write a ellipse on the picturebox. It looks like this:

public void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
		{
			System.Drawing.Graphics g = e.Graphics;
			g.DrawEllipse(System.Drawing.Pens.Red, 125, 150, 2, 2);
		}

And on my form load:

public void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			pictureBox1.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(this.pictureBox1_Paint);
			this.Controls.Add(pictureBox1);
		}

Now my problem is that I cant seem to figure out how to read the txt file properly when I need all the data

If I use for example:

public void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
		{
			String line;
			String data;

			System.Drawing.Graphics g = e.Graphics;

			// Reading txt file from fileLocation
			using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Convert.ToString(@fileLocation)))
			{
				while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
				{
					// Converting line to string from txt file
					data = Convert.ToString(line);

					// Splitting data into piecesMap[]
					String[] piecesMap = data.Split('\t');

					// Converting x/y cord to float from string
					float xCord = float.Parse(piecesMap[3]);
					float yCord = float.Parse(piecesMap[4]);

					// Displaying ellipse
					g.DrawEllipse(System.Drawing.Pens.Red, xCord, yCord, 2, 2);
				}
			}

		}

then im getting the error:
Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Any suggestions?

My monstersetbase.txt:

12	38	5	106	161	111	160	-1	2	// Kundum Demon
end

78 and 60 is the x and y coordinates in the text above.

Question 2:
After I insert the ellipse I want it to be "link" like when I click on it something happens
I also want to display a tooltil when I have the mouse over my ellipse is that possible?
