Windows Forms Programming 
How to: Create a Solid Brush 

This example creates a SolidBrush object that can be used by a Graphics object for filling shapes.

Example

Visual Basic
Dim myBrush As New System.Drawing.SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.Red)
Dim formGraphics As System.Drawing.Graphics
formGraphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
formGraphics.FillEllipse(myBrush, New Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 300))
myBrush.Dispose()
formGraphics.Dispose()
C#
System.Drawing.SolidBrush myBrush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.Red);
System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics;
formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
formGraphics.FillEllipse(myBrush, new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 300));
myBrush.Dispose();
formGraphics.Dispose();
C++
System::Drawing::SolidBrush^ myBrush =
    gcnew System::Drawing::SolidBrush(System::Drawing::Color::Red);
System::Drawing::Graphics^ formGraphics;
formGraphics = this->CreateGraphics();
formGraphics->FillEllipse(myBrush, Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 300));
delete myBrush;
delete formGraphics;

Robust Programming

After you have finished using them, you should call Dispose on objects that consume system resources, such as brush objects.
