Maybe the control has the same background color as the form, and thus is not
visible.

shachar,

Probably because that you never see something when you add an empty
picturebox to a form.

Shachar,

I never know that with the Zorder comes first, however try to remove the
picturebox and add it on the end again.

me.controls.remove(thatbigpicturebox)
me.controls.add(thatbigpicturebox)

I hope this helps?
