System.Drawing.Graphics

I have one problem relating to rotate ellipse by given Center, Suppose I have one ellipse and what should be is to rotate that ellipse by point given by user and ellipse should be rotate around that given point. I have tried 

g.RotateTransform(…)
g.TranslateTransform(…)

Code: 

Graphics g = this.GetGraphics(); 
g.RotateTransform((float)degreeArg); //degree to rotate object 
g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 300, 300, 100, 200);

this works fine but how can we give our out center to rotate ellipse....

How could it be possible please any buddy can suggest…… Thanks…….

RotateTransform always rotates about the origin. So you need to first translate your centre of rotation to the origin, then rotate, then translate it back.

Something like this:

Graphics g = this.GetGraphics(); 
g.TranslateTransform(300,300);
g.RotateTransform((float)degreeArg); //degree to rotate object 
g.TranslateTransform(-300,-300);
g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 300, 300, 100, 200);

//center of the rotation
PointF center = new PointF(...);
//angle in degrees
float angle = 45.0f;
//use a rotation matrix
using (Matrix rotate = new Matrix())
{
    //used to restore g.Transform previous state
    GraphicsContainer container = g.BeginContainer();

    //create the rotation matrix
    rotate.RotateAt(angle, center);
    //add it to g.Transform
    g.Transform = rotate;

    //draw what you want
    ...

    //restore g.Transform state
    g.EndContainer(container);
}
