Probably the easiest way is to set the region of the button. Subclass Button and adjust the Region with code similar to this:

 public class ShapedButton : Button
    {
        protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnResize(e);
            GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath();
            gp.AddEllipse(new Rectangle(Point.Empty, this.Size));
            this.Region = new Region(gp);
        }
    }

That same concept can be applied to custom shaped forms.
