Rectangle does not contain a constructor that takes 4 arguments

I have a problem that I am creating a rectangle in a picturebox through PictureBox1_Paint() event but when we call the constructor of Rectangle class it shows an error as Rectangle class does not contain a constructor that takes 4 arguments, I don't know how to resolve this and also where I go wrong? Please suggest me for the right solution regarding the same.

Code:

private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    Rectangle ee = new Rectangle(10, 10, 30, 30);

    using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 2))
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, ee);
    }
}

Probably you included a namespace (through the using directive at the very beginning of your .CS file) that includes a Rectangle class/structure that has the same name but otherwise is non-related to the Rectangle structure.

Try the absolute name like:

private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    System.Drawing.Rectangle ee = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(10, 10, 30, 30);

    using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 2))
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, ee);
    }
}

I.e. use System.Drawing.Rectangle instead of just Rectangle.
