Putting a shape (circle, square, etc) on a form at design time

Hi,

I come from a Borland C++ Builder background and in that environment if you want a shape like a circle or a square on your form you simply drop a TShape on it at design time and set it's properties just like you would do with a button or any other component. Very easy and convenient.

Is there such a thing in Visual C# Express I can't seem to find anything other than an explanation of how to code the drawing of shapes at run time.

Thanks.

Daniel Leger

    well, this seem not avaiable before 2003, but now, it's changed.
    I'am not still experience willl it. But can share my experience.
    I have created a custom class that inherit from control class.
    what I do is writing code, but when I switched back to form
    designer, my class appear in my toolbox and my main form.
    I can also drag a new copy of it. I still experience with it.
