If you just need sunken and raised borders, you can use .NET's built-in implementation - System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawBorder:



But the ControlPaint.DrawBorder method doesn't do etched and bump borders, where as the code below does:
public enum BorderStyle
{
    Raised,Sunken,Etched,Bump
};

/////THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE IN A CLASS:

  public static void DrawBorder(Graphics g, 
                                Rectangle rect, 
                                BorderStyle border, 
                                Color color)
  {
      BorderStyle inner=BorderStyle.Raised;
      BorderStyle outer=BorderStyle.Raised;
      switch(border)
      {
          case BorderStyle.Raised:
             inner=BorderStyle.Raised;
             outer=BorderStyle.Raised;
             break;
          case BorderStyle.Sunken:
             inner=BorderStyle.Sunken;
             outer=BorderStyle.Sunken;
             break;
          case BorderStyle.Etched:
             inner=BorderStyle.Raised;
             outer=BorderStyle.Sunken;
             break;
          case BorderStyle.Bump:
             inner=BorderStyle.Sunken;
             outer=BorderStyle.Raised;
             break;
     }
     DrawThinBorder(g,rect,outer,color,inner==outer);
     rect.Offset(1,1);
     rect.Width-=2;rect.Height-=2;
     DrawThinBorder(g,rect,inner,color,false);
}
		
public static void DrawThinBorder(Graphics g, 
                                Rectangle rect,
                                BorderStyle border, 
                                Color color)
{DrawThinBorder(g,rect,border,color,false);}

public static void DrawThinBorder(Graphics g, 
                                Rectangle rect, 
                                BorderStyle border, 
                                Color color,
                                bool outer)
{
    if(border==BorderStyle.Raised)
    {
        DrawUpperCorner(g,rect,new Pen((outer?ColorHelper.LightenColor(color,1):color)));
        DrawLowerCorner(g,rect,new Pen(ColorHelper.DarkenColor(color,(outer?3:1))));
     }else
     {
        DrawUpperCorner(g,rect,new Pen(ColorHelper.DarkenColor(color,(outer?1:2))));
        DrawLowerCorner(g,rect,new Pen((outer?ColorHelper.LightenColor(color,1):color)));		

     }
}
		
public static void DrawUpperCorner(Graphics g, Rectangle rect, Pen pen)
{
    g.DrawLine(pen,rect.X, rect.Y,rect.X,rect.Y+rect.Height);
    g.DrawLine(pen,rect.X, rect.Y,rect.X+rect.Width,rect.Y);
}
public static void DrawLowerCorner(Graphics g, Rectangle rect, Pen pen)
{
    g.DrawLine(pen,rect.X+rect.Width, rect.Y,rect.X+rect.Width,rect.Y+rect.Height);
    g.DrawLine(pen,rect.X, rect.Y+rect.Height,rect.X+rect.Width,rect.Y+rect.Height);
}


BTW, the LightenColor and DarkenColor methods return a lighter or darker version of the color passed in. I can send you the code for them if you like, but I don't want to post it here, as it's too long.
