I have a button on a form that I need to change the Background Color, or
make it transparent. This is what it looks like-
this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(48, 88);

this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(48, 24);

this.button1.Text = "button1";

this.button1.BackColor=Color.Blue;

In Design Mode the button is blue, but in debug, the button is still gray.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.



Thanks

Dave

Are you sure that your target device has SP2 installed?

Are you sure that SP2 is installed on your device? A PocketPC 2003 has the
..NET Compact Framework v1 in ROM so you would have to install SP2
separately.
