I am looking for a way in vb.net to take a form with sharp corners and just
round off the corners a bit so they arent so sharp.
I have seen this done in other applications.

Put a panel on the form and then make the form tranparent. You can add the
controls over the panel.

WOW. I was thinking that there was something quick and simple. But I highly
appreciate the technical approach, Realizing that all things dont come in
quick and dirty flavors

This works but does'nt. If I resize my form. I lose the formatiing. Is there
no way for me to keep the rounded corners when resizing?

Hi Mike,
Try this:
Me.FormBorderSt yle = FormBorderStyle .None
' this would make the form purely the designated color, without
' the control or windowstate menus and without a caption, drag top, icon,
etc.
Me.Height = 688
Me.Width = 360
Dim p As New Drawing2D.Graph icsPath
p.StartFigure()
p.AddArc(New Rectangle(0, 0, 40, 40), 180, 90)
p.AddLine(40, 0, Me.Width - 40, 0)
p.AddArc(New Rectangle(Me.Wi dth - 40, 0, 40, 40), -90, 90)
p.AddLine(Me.Wi dth, 40, Me.Width, Me.Height - 40)
p.AddArc(New Rectangle(Me.Wi dth - 40, Me.Height - 40, 40, 40), 0, 90)
