If you want a button that draws differently, you should probably create a new class inheriting from Button, and in it you would override OnPaint and/or OnPaintBackground and implement your drawing logics, such as drawing a border.

The reason your current solution is not working probably depends on when you are calling your DrawBorder method. If your drawing code is not executed as part of handling an OnPaint event, then the graphics you draw will be drawn-over in the next paint.

But anyway, instead of drawing the border yourself, can't you set the Border proerpty on the Button object?
