Well.... you would probably call the DrawRectangle function to draw a rectangle....

If you actually want to draw ON the label control, then you need to construct a class derived from Label and override the OnPaint method:

C#

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
    base.OnPaint(e);
    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0, Width, Height);
    rect.Inflate(-5, -5);
    e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Blue, rect);
    }
