Transparent Forms?

[Howard Swope]

We recently converted our .Net 1.1 app over to 2.0 and now our transparent
forms are behaving differenctly. I was hoping someone might be able to shed
some light on this issue...

We have a windows form that is transparent. We set the background image to
be a gif image that contains a transparency. Under .Net 1.1 we were able to
"see through" the image transparency to the desktop below. Now in .Net 2 we
are seeing the default windows form color.

I tried to set the form style to allow for transparent backcolor and I set
the back color to transparent. This has no effect.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Have you checked the TransparencyKey property of the form? I believe you
have to set that as well.

Thanks Steve, that did the trick.
