I wrote the following code for changing the border color of a label but it is not working. It is same as how I gave in the label properties.

void label1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    ControlPaint.DrawBorder(e.Graphics, label1.DisplayRectangle, Color.Red, ButtonBorderStyle.Solid);
}

I found this code here.

I tried your code and it works fine. So i guess the problem is you haven't subscribed to your label Paint event. So you must do one of this two options:

  • Select your label properties,go to the events and double click the Paint event.

  • Add this to your Form's constructor or Load event:

    label1.Paint += new System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler(this.label1_Paint);

  • Hi when I implement the same for panel it shows error. Error: No overload for 'panel1_Paint' matches delegate 'PaintEventHandler' – Ankky Nov 21 '16 at 16:56
  • i guess your `panel1_paint` method has the wrong signature. It should be something like this: `private void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)` – Pikoh Nov 21 '16 at 17:10
