Solution 1

Draw it in Photoshop then use the Picturebox, the picturebox has click events just like a button.

No, Thanks for answer but Checkers must be dynamic color and type.So picturebox not enough.

Then use an image list for each of the checker states? The only other way is to override the button as a custom control then overide the OnPaint method to draw the button yourself. You will also need to know what state the button is in (Hovered, Pressed, Released, Focused, etc) in order to draw it correctly. The easiest way to do what you want is to draw it in an image editing software (even for all the states), then just use a PictureBox and change the image to match the state of the checker. All the other functionality you need is there like OnClick or OnDoubleClick just like a button.
