There is no DrawCircle method  use DrawEllipse instead  I have a static class with handy graphics extension methods  The following ones draw and fill circles  They are wrappers around DrawEllipse and FillEllipse   public static class GraphicsExtensions       public static void DrawCircle this Graphics g  Pen pen                                    float centerX  float centerY  float radius                g DrawEllipse pen  centerX - radius  centerY - radius                        radius   radius  radius   radius              public static void FillCircle this Graphics g  Brush brush                                    float centerX  float centerY  float radius                g FillEllipse brush  centerX - radius  centerY - radius                        radius   radius  radius   radius             You can call them like this   g FillCircle myBrush  centerX  centerY  radius   g DrawCircle myPen  centerX  centerY  radius

if you want to draw circle on button then this code might be use full    else if you want to draw a circle on other control just change the name of control and also event  like here event button is called  if you want to draw this circle in group box call the Groupbox event    regards       public Form1                 InitializeComponent                private void Form1 Load object sender  EventArgs e                this button1 Location   new Point 108  12             this Paint    new PaintEventHandler Form1 Paint           this button1 Paint    new PaintEventHandler button1 Paint             void button1 Paint object sender  PaintEventArgs e                Graphics g   this button1 CreateGraphics            Pen pen   new Pen Color Red           g DrawEllipse pen  10  10  20  20

You should use DrawEllipse         Summary         Draws an ellipse defined by a bounding rectangle specified by coordinates        for the upper-left corner of the rectangle  a height  and a width        Parameters       pen         System Drawing Pen that determines the color  width          and style of the ellipse          x         The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that        defines the ellipse          y         The y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that        defines the ellipse          width         Width of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse          height         Height of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse        Exceptions       System ArgumentNullException         pen is null  public void DrawEllipse Pen pen  int x  int y  int width  int height
