How to Draw a Rounded Rectangle with WinForms (.NET)?

Question

Draw rectangle using C# and I need to draw the arc in every edges first of all I draw rectangle and then I need click button it will draw the arc at edges, how can I do it?<

Answer 1

I know this post is old, but it's the top hit when searching for how to do rounded rectangles in C# and I've had some problems with it. The AddArc method is inaccurate and as such if you use the code from the accepted answer you will get a funky rounded rectangle. The top left corner is correct, the top right and bottom left are misshapen, and the bottom right is too small. I have adjusted some things in the code to compensate for AddArc's inaccuracies and I believe I have a working solution for creating a proper rounded rectangle. This version can also separate the rectangle into top-left-half and bottom-right-half sections which is handy for doing light/dark shading for 3d effect.

Example usage for setting a window region and also creating topleft/bottomright paths for tracing with light and dark pens for shading:

        Region = new Region(RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.Create(new Rectangle(0, 0, Size.Width, Size.Height), 8, RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.RectangleCorners.TopRight | RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.RectangleCorners.TopLeft));
        TopLeftPath = RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.Create(new Rectangle(0, 0, Size.Width, Size.Height), 8, RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.RectangleCorners.TopRight | RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.RectangleCorners.TopLeft, RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.WhichHalf.TopLeft);
        BottomRightPath = RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.Create(new Rectangle(0, 0, Size.Width-1, Size.Height-1), 8, RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.RectangleCorners.TopRight | RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.RectangleCorners.TopLeft, RoundedRectangles.RoundedRectangle.WhichHalf.BottomRight);

And finally the code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;

namespace RoundedRectangles
{
public abstract class RoundedRectangle
{
    [Flags]
    public enum RectangleCorners
    {
        None = 0, TopLeft = 1, TopRight = 2, BottomLeft = 4, BottomRight = 8,
        All = TopLeft | TopRight | BottomLeft | BottomRight
    }

    public enum WhichHalf
    {
        TopLeft,
        BottomRight,
        Both
    }

    static void Corner(GraphicsPath path, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int x3, int y3)
    {
        path.AddLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);
        path.AddLine(x2, y2, x3, y3);
    }

    public static GraphicsPath Create(int x, int y, int width, int height, int radius, RectangleCorners corners, WhichHalf half)
    {
        if (radius <= 0)
        {
            GraphicsPath rectp = new GraphicsPath();
            rectp.AddRectangle(new Rectangle(x, y, width, height));
            return rectp;
        }

        int dia = radius * 2;

        Rectangle TLarc = new Rectangle(x, y, dia, dia);
        Rectangle TRarc = new Rectangle(x + width - dia - 1, y, dia, dia);
        Rectangle BRarc = new Rectangle(x + width - dia - 1, y + height - dia - 1, dia, dia);
        Rectangle BLarc = new Rectangle(x, y + height - dia - 1, dia, dia);

        Rectangle TLsquare = new Rectangle(x, y, radius, radius);
        Rectangle TRsquare = new Rectangle(x + width - radius, y, radius, radius);
        Rectangle BRsquare = new Rectangle(x + width - radius, y + height - radius, radius, radius);
        Rectangle BLsquare = new Rectangle(x, y + height - radius, radius, radius);

        GraphicsPath p = new GraphicsPath();
        p.StartFigure();

        if (half == WhichHalf.Both || half == WhichHalf.TopLeft)
        {
            if (corners.HasFlag(RectangleCorners.BottomLeft))
                p.AddArc(BLarc, 135, 45);
            else
                p.AddLine(BLsquare.Left, BLsquare.Bottom, BLsquare.Left, BLsquare.Top);

            p.AddLine(BLsquare.Left, BLsquare.Top - 1, TLsquare.Left, TLsquare.Bottom + 1);

            if (corners.HasFlag(RectangleCorners.TopLeft))
                p.AddArc(TLarc, 180, 90);
            else
                Corner(p, TLsquare.Left, TLsquare.Bottom, TLsquare.Left, TLsquare.Top, TLsquare.Right, TLsquare.Top);

            p.AddLine(TLsquare.Right + 1, TLsquare.Top, TRsquare.Left - 1, TRsquare.Top);

            if (corners.HasFlag(RectangleCorners.TopRight))
                p.AddArc(TRarc, -90, 45);
        }

        if (half == WhichHalf.Both || half == WhichHalf.BottomRight)
        {
            if (corners.HasFlag(RectangleCorners.TopRight))
                p.AddArc(TRarc, -45, 45);
            else
                p.AddLine(TRsquare.Right, TRsquare.Top, TRsquare.Right, TRsquare.Bottom);

            p.AddLine(TRsquare.Right, TRsquare.Bottom + 1, BRsquare.Right, BRsquare.Top - 1);

            if (corners.HasFlag(RectangleCorners.BottomRight))
                p.AddArc(BRarc, 0, 90);
            else
                Corner(p, BRsquare.Right, BRsquare.Top, BRsquare.Right, BRsquare.Bottom, BRsquare.Left, BRsquare.Bottom);

            p.AddLine(BRsquare.Left - 1, BRsquare.Bottom, BLsquare.Right + 1, BLsquare.Bottom);

            if (corners.HasFlag(RectangleCorners.BottomLeft))
                p.AddArc(BLarc, 90, 45);
            else
                p.AddLine(BLsquare.Right, BLsquare.Bottom, BLsquare.Left, BLsquare.Bottom);
        }

        return p;
    }
