Background Images

[runswithsizzors]

Is there any way to stretch background images on forms? Or is it always tiled?

If you're simply setting the BackgroundImage property then the image will always be tiled.
You can however, use the paint event along with the GDI+ DrawImage procedure to stretch a background image on a form.

Btw, adding background image directly to the form is the real wasting of resources.
Maybe it's better to consider PictureBox that will strach on form.

If I do picture boxes is there any way to make the labels background transparent to that picture box. Because the transparency of those labels are for the actual form background. I started out with the picture box idea but saw what the labels did. Any suggestions?

label1.backcolor = color.transparent becomes your friend, just set them in the form's load event
