    // Change the color of the border to red.
    ovalShape1.BorderColor = Color.Red;
    // Change the style of the border to dotted.
    ovalShape1.BorderStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot;
    // Change the thickness of the border to 3 pixels.
    ovalShape1.BorderWidth = 3;
    ovalShape1.Size = new Size(300, 200);
}

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim OvalShape1 As New OvalShape
    Dim canvas As New ShapeContainer
    ' Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
