You can create and save metafiles directly by creating a windows metafile
and then draw on it using a Graphics object.

Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics(); //not often you'll see me do this...

IntPtr hdc = g.GetHdc();

Metafile mf = new Metafile("poop.emf",hdc);

Graphics mfg = Graphics.FromImage(mf);

mfg.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, new Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 20));

g.ReleaseHdc(hdc);

g.Dispose();

mfg.Dispose();

mf.Dispose();
