Do you ever do UI development in C#? Do you know what a GraphicsPath is, or how to use it? No? Well, then this tutorial is for you. We will be covering how to create a graphics path and use it, by coding a way to easily create and draw rounded rectangles. When we are done, you will have a set of functions for creating rounded rectangles, and hopefully a new way to think about certain types of custom painting in C#. First off, what is a graphics path?

So lets get down to it - lets create a rounded rectangle. Now, like any rectangle, we are going to need an (x,y) coordinate for the upper left
