i work in visual studio on dots & boxes game, i make an array of dots in 4 rows and 4 column, and i draw lines between each two points, now i want when player1 click on one line, specific line change color to red, player2 click on other line, it change color to black.

What I have tried:

private void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    Pen mypen = new Pen(Color.Blue, 2);

    e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Green, 0, 0, 250, 250);
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
        {
            e.Graphics.FillEllipse(Brushes.Black, 32 + 48 * j, 32 + 48 * i, 10, 10);
        }
    }
    for (int i = 0; i <= 3; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j <= 3; j++)
        {

            e.Graphics.DrawLine(mypen, 37 + 48 * j, 37 + 48 * i, 37 + 48 * j, 37 + 48 * (i + 1));
            e.Graphics.DrawLine(mypen, 37 + 48 * j, 37 + 48 * i, 37 + 48 * (j + 1), 37 + 48 * i);

        }
    }
}

First off, you need to change the ways you are doing things.
You need to store the "current status" of the game, and an enum is a good start:

C#

public enum PlayLineStatus
   {
   Unclicked,
   PlayerOne,
   PlayerTwo,
   }

Then create an array (or other collection) of those to represent the current position of the game. Each time a player clicks on a line, you find with array element it is associated with, and check it's status: if it's "Unclicked" then he gets it and you update the array appropriately. If it isn't, he can't click there, so ignore it.

In your Paint handler, you loop through the array, drawing each line in it's appropriate colour according to the status:

C#

Color toPaint;
switch (statusArrayElement)
   {
   default: thrown new ArgumentException("Unknown play status: " + statusArrayElement.ToString());
   case PlayLineStatus.Unclicked:
      toPaint = Color.Green;
      break;
   case PlayLineStatus.PlayerOne:
      toPaint = Color.Red;
      break;
   case PlayLineStatus.PlayerTwo:
      toPaint = Color.Black;
      break;
   }

When the click occurs you need to identify which line needs to be repainted in a different colour, and mark that somehow. You then call Invalidate to force a repaint of the panel (see Control.Update Method (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^]). The repaint code should check which line to repaint in the different colour.
