```C#
CircleShape circleShape = new CircleShape();          
radPanel1.BackColor = Color.ForestGreen;
this.radPanel1.RootElement.Shape = circleShape;
this.radPanel1.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = true;

```

```VB.NET
Dim circleShape As CircleShape = New CircleShape()
radPanel1.BackColor = Color.ForestGreen
Me.radPanel1.RootElement.Shape = circleShape
Me.radPanel1.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = True

```
