Call the 'Bitmap' object's 'MakeTransparent' method.

Can you be more specific about what you want to do? If you want a picture
to completely fill the form, it's better to use the BackGround image of the
form. If you just want it on part of the form, a picturebox is fine - there
are several other options such as panels also.

If you do place an image in a picturebox or other container control, you
will need to make both the image and the container transparent, or set the
backcolor of the container to the same backcolor as the form, otherwise
you'll end up with the image transparent and showing the color of the
picturebox it's on.

this is what i'm trying to do. however, how do i make the image's background
transparent?
