I would like to have a round button control in WinForms, how might I accomplish this? A third-party control or code sample would be fine.

You can make your own pretty easily, the Region property makes it simple. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto a form.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class RoundButton : Button {
    protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) {
        using (var path = new GraphicsPath()) {
            path.AddEllipse(new Rectangle(2, 2, this.Width - 5, this.Height - 5));
            this.Region = new Region(path);
        }
        base.OnResize(e);
    }
}

telerik RadButtons for WinForms maybe?

add custom drawing in OnPaint event handler.

Use WPF if its still early in the project and you can still switch

I suggest following two DLL files: PresentationCore.dll and PresentationFramework.dll

It's more commonly known as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and can easily be used to make round buttons.

You'd probably have to create an image with your rounded corners specification, and use it on an image button to achieve what you want.
