how to Draw an ellipse using c#

[weird0]

I wanted to draw an ellipse using c# with System.Drawing.Graphics. I
tried out several tutorials and none of them worked and there seems to
be something missing. One did execute without any errors but it did
not render an ellipse on the form.

I want to create an ellipse with just a new project with one form
default, that is Form1. I want the draw ellipse function to be in some
other class,say Shapes( user-defined) and then call it in the form1
class. How can i do this successgully? I tried hell lot of stuff.

Need help

Well, drawing an ellipse is easy - but you need to be a bit clearer on
your context; perhaps post what isn't working? But following works:

static class Program {
static void Main() {
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.Run(new MyForm());
}
}
class MyForm : Form {
protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) {
base.OnResize(e);
Invalidate();
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) {
base.OnPaint(e);
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(SystemPens.ControlText,
ClientRectangle);
}
}
