OvalShape1.Parent = canvas
' Change the color of the border to red.
OvalShape1.BorderColor = Color.Red
' Change the style of the border to dotted.
OvalShape1.BorderStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot
' Change the thickness of the border to 3 pixels.
OvalShape1.BorderWidth = 3
OvalShape1.Size = New Size(300, 200)

OvalShape ovalShape1 = new OvalShape();
ShapeContainer canvas = new ShapeContainer();

// Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the OvalShape.
ovalShape1.Parent = canvas;
// Change the color of the border to red.
