Hey, I'm trying to change the color of a textbox border say if a value returned false.

    private void UserBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ControlPaint.DrawBorder(e.Graphics, this.ClientRectangle, Color.Red, ButtonBorderStyle.Solid);
    }
}

the problem is EventArgs e doesnt have a graphics member, EventArgs should be a PaintEventArgs, but when i change its paramters i get an error. perhaps im doing something in properly or dont have the correct textbox. how would i get this to work
