Answer 2

You're pretty close, you just need to initialize the rectangle better and adjust the rectangle size in the Move event:

  public partial class Form1 : Form {
    public Form1() {
      InitializeComponent();
      this.DoubleBuffered = true;
    }
    Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0);

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) {
      e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Aquamarine, rec);
    }
    protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e) {
      if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) {
        rec = new Rectangle(e.X, e.Y, 0, 0);
        Invalidate();
      }
    }
    protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e) {
      if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) {
        rec.Width = e.X - rec.X;
        rec.Height = e.Y - rec.Y;
        Invalidate();
      }
    }
  }
