Is it possible that the application can't connect for some reason?

how to specofy that the type is dropdown or combobox or something else

private Panel panel;
private bool paintRectFlag=true;
private Rectangle rect=new Rectangle(20, 20, 300, 200);
private Pen rectPen=Pens.Black;

public Form1() {
    InitializeComponents();
    panel=new Panel();
    panel.Bounds=new Rectangle(…);
    panel.Paint+=panelPaintHandler;
    Controls.Add(panel);
}

protected void panelPaintHandler(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
    Graphics g=e.Graphics;
    if (paintRectFlag) g.DrawRectangle(rectPen, rect);
}

protected void buttonClickHandler(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    paintRectFlag=!paintRectFlag;   // toggle visible flag
    panel.Invalidate();
}

1. Why do you find the PictureBox control a useless one?

2. Why did you say that we shouldn't call the CreateGraphics method?

3. What exactly does the Panel.Invalidate() method do and how it can be used here?

4. Why did you say that either create the pen, font, etc. object as class members or create them inside the Paint event handler and call the Dispose method? Why is the Dispose method necessary here and what's the difference between these two methods you mentioned.
