How to: Draw a Filled Ellipse on a Form

This example demonstrates how to draw a filled ellipse on a form.

Example

System.Drawing.SolidBrush brush1 = 
    new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.Red);
System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
formGraphics.FillEllipse(brush1, new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0,0,200,300));
brush1.Dispose();
formGraphics.Dispose();

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

  • A Windows Forms Application project with a form named formGraphics.

The code must be in the scope of the form class. The instance of the form is represented by this.

Robust Programming

You should always call Dispose on any objects that consume system resources, such as Brush and Graphics objects.
