Is there a recommended one to use in order to add lines and circles, so I can build a graph? I will possibly work with background images under the graph itself.

Also, are you using WPF, or Silverlight? – John Saunders Oct 31 '12 at 21:35

1@JohnSaunders I assume it's just Windows Forms based on the tags. – xxbbcc Oct 31 '12 at 21:37

I'd say neither. If you're doing your own drawing, just inherit from `Control` itself unless you have a need specifically for one of the other two. – Knowledge Cube Jun 14 '17 at 13:54

Use a PictureBox - it'll be easiest to maintain the code later on. A Panel is not really useful in this case and drawing directly on the Form - while it'd work - would make it harder to make changes later on.
Just handle the Paint event of the PictureBox and do all your drawing in there.

also noticed that animated graphic shapes are flickering on a `panel` and on `picturebox` it does not happen. – Jonathan Applebaum Oct 20 '16 at 16:55

1@jonathana You can make it work the right way even with a Panel but it's extra work that you don't have to do with a PictureBox. – xxbbcc Oct 20 '16 at 17:41
