Solution 1

There is not such thing in System.Windows.Forms, there are only few predefined border types. If you really need it, you can, for example, create a window free from non-client areas and simulate border in the client area.

Hello,
you can subscribe for Form.Paint event and use this code to do that.

C#

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
   e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.GREEN, 3),
                            this.DisplayRectangle);
}
