Override the form's 'OnPaint' method and add the drawing code there:

\\\
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
e.Graphics.DrawLine(...)
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(...)
ByBase.OnPaint(e)
End Sub
///

you will have to use the System.Drawing namespace to access lines and
shapes, there is no longer "tools" for shapes anymore because they were not
true controls in the past...
