Hi Muhamma,

Please go through the below code snippet and let me know if you have any doubts.

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr GetWindowDC(IntPtr hWnd);
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
IntPtr hDC = GetWindowDC(this.Handle);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(hDC);
Brush b = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(new Rectangle(5, 5, this.Width, 30), Color.Red, Color.Green, 45);
g.FillRectangle(b, new Rectangle(5, 5, this.Width, 30));
}

Regards
Joy
