How to create Round Corner Controls in WinForms and C#

How to create Round Corner Controls in WinForms and C#

WinForms is a UI framework for building Windows Desktop Applications. The initial release of this framework was 21 years ago, and not much has changed. Well, at least not on the most basic level.

One of the most interesting things to note, is that after 21 years of existence, WinForms has not graced us with rounded edges for the controls it provides. Just as a comparison, WPF has this feature implemented right out of the box. As a result, when you need a feature like this I would recommend you to use WPF.

But there are still legacy projects out there. What if you are in a situation where you need to create a Round Corners for your controls? Well, you are in luck, because we are going to extensively cover how to do that with any basic WinForms control.

Although C# is our language of choice, you can easily do this using Visual Basic as well.

Hello! Im trying to use your code to make some rounded background drawings but it fails. I can build it but when I try to place the RoundedCorner object on the forms its loading for a while (like 5 seconds) and than tells me that "The connection to the server has been lost". Do you have any clue why? Thanks for the video anyway :)
