You can set the BorderStyle of the Panel to None, and then add an event
handler for the Paint event and draw a border in whatever color, thickness,
or pattern that you'd like.

Derive a custom control from a Panel and add the following code to
"paint" the red border.

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)
{
// TODO: Add custom paint code here
pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red,
pe.ClipRectangle.Left,
pe.ClipRectangle.Top,
pe.ClipRectangle.Width - 1,
pe.ClipRectangle.Height - 1);

// Calling the base class OnPaint
base.OnPaint(pe);
}
