How to: Draw a Filled Ellipse on a Windows Form

This example draws a filled ellipse on a form.

Example

[!code-cppSystem.Drawing.ConceptualHowTos#1] [!code-csharpSystem.Drawing.ConceptualHowTos#1] [!code-vbSystem.Drawing.ConceptualHowTos#1]

Compiling the Code

You cannot call this method in the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form.Load event handler. The drawn content will not be redrawn if the form is resized or obscured by another form. To make your content automatically repaint, you should override the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnPaint%2A method.

Robust Programming

You should always call xref:System.IDisposable.Dispose%2A on any objects that consume system resources, such as xref:System.Drawing.Brush and xref:System.Drawing.Graphics objects.
