Answer 1

Yes, no problem, you can give a control an arbitrary shape with its Region property. 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 your form.

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

class OvalPictureBox : PictureBox {
    public OvalPictureBox() {
        this.BackColor = Color.DarkGray;
    }
    protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) {
        base.OnResize(e);
        using (var gp = new GraphicsPath()) {
            gp.AddEllipse(new Rectangle(0, 0, this.Width-1, this.Height-1));
            this.Region = new Region(gp);
        }
    }
}

Round edges as in round corners?

If so check out http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winforms/thread/603084bb-1aae-45d1-84ae-8544386d58fd

Rectangle r = new Rectangle(0, 0, pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath gp = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath();
int d = 50;
gp.AddArc(r.X, r.Y, d, d, 180, 90);
gp.AddArc(r.X + r.Width - d, r.Y, d, d, 270, 90);
gp.AddArc(r.X + r.Width - d, r.Y + r.Height - d, d, d, 0, 90);
gp.AddArc(r.X, r.Y + r.Height - d, d, d, 90, 90);
pictureBox1.Region = new Region(gp);
