You're going to have to be a bit more specific. Draw a rectangle on WHAT?? The Form? On top of a control?? On top of the video??

I am so sry about this . I want to draw an Roi over videosourceplayer of camera actually...

Well, that's not going to happen in Windows Forms code. Those pixels are owned by the control that is painting the video image and anything you draw on the control will be overwritten over and over again at the frame rate your video is being drawn at. You'd have to use something like AForge.NET or OpenCVSharp to do an overlay. Google for them.
