I agree. Do you want a System.Drawing.Rectangle
or just the points for a rectangle inside of a class?

I think you are going to have to think about this: If you have eight integers, (or even four points) how can you be sure they are a rectangle? You only need two points (or four integers) to define a rectangle: Top Left corner position, and bottom right corner position (or a defined corner and a width / height pair). Your four points could describe a parallelogram, an eggtimer, or an irregular shape.
Do you need to check?
What should you do if it isn't?
Are they in order? If so, which way does it run - clockwise or anticlockwise?
If they are in order, is the first the TLHC? Or the TRHC? etc.
Is any of this going to affect the way you store things?
