And what will be the difference between 1st and 2nd rectangle? Will you create n number of rectanlges (and where to position it/them)?

there is no difference between 1st and 2nd rectangle.the 2nd rectangle should not overwrite the 1st rectangle.i meant as in paint when we select rectangle we can draw multiple rectangles one by one same as i want to draw rectangles in c#windows form.

i have gone through this code but in this code the 1st rectangle disappears when we draw 2nd rectangle.

You'll need to save the rectangles in some form of collection and draw them all in the Paint event, otherwise they vanish, as you have seen.

can you please suggest how to do it????

If you followed the code from the link above, right under the rectangle declaration put a new List declaration:

Rectangle rect;
List<Rectangle> theRectangles = new List<Rectangle>();

Now add a mouse up handler

private void Form1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
    if (rect != null && theRectangles.Contains(rect) == false) {
        theRectangles.Add(rect);
    }
}

Then change the Paint event to draw all the rectangles

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
    // Replace "Color.Red" with any color and repalce "2" with any size you like.
    using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 2)) {
        foreach (Rectangle r in theRectangles) {
            e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, r);
        }
    }
}

It might generate an exception when it's drawing the rectangles if you are adding one at the same time. If so, you'll either have to lock the collection or iterate through it using a for loop.
