You can draw directly on the Form by overriding the OnPaint method and
drawing against the Graphics object.

What language are you using?

I see from another post that you're using C#. A code snippet to paint a
background image is shown below. Although the OnPaint override will work
too, I've used OnPaintBackground instead.

using System.Reflection;

protected override void
OnPaintBackground(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaintBackground(e);
Bitmap bmp = new
Bitmap(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("DefaultNam
espace.Background.jpg"));
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0);
bmp.Dispose();
}

This code snippet assumes that your default namespace for your main project
is set to "DefaultNamespace" and that you have added a jpg named
"Background.jpg" to your project and set its "Build Action" to "Embedded
Resource". Alternatively, you can always place the background image file
onto the device and load it from there instead of embedding it into the
application.
