Lalit M · Answer

The best way to do this is to simply draw the image directly over the form by overriding the OnPaint event: Show here example public class Form1 { private Bitmap _myImage = new Bitmap("C:\myImage.gif"); protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(new Bitmap(_myImage), 100, 100); } } OR you can try this code sample Transparent label above a picturebox protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { gxOff = e.Graphics; } private void pbx_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics g = e.Graphics; DrawLabel(lblPag1, g); } private void DrawLabel(Label lbl, Graphics grx) { Rectangle rect; if (lbl.TextAlign == ContentAlignment.TopLeft) { gxOff.DrawString(lbl.Text, lbl.Font, new SolidBrush(lbl.ForeColor), lbl.Location.X, lbl.Location.Y); } else if ((lbl.TextAlign == ContentAlignment.TopCenter)) { SizeF size; size = grx.MeasureString(lbl.Text, lbl.Font); int Left; Left = (this.Width / 2) - ((int)size.Width / 2); rect = new Rectangle(Left, lbl.Top, (int)size.Width, (int)lbl.Height); gxOff.DrawString(lbl.Text, lbl.Font, new SolidBrush(lbl.ForeColor), rect.Location.X, rect.Location.Y); pbx.Visible = false; } else if (lbl.TextAlign == ContentAlignment.TopRight) { SizeF size; size = grx.MeasureString(lbl.Text, lbl.Font); int Left; Left = lbl.Width - (int)size.Width + lbl.Left; rect = new Rectangle(Left, lbl.Top, (int)size.Width, (int)lbl.Height); gxOff.DrawString(lbl.Text, lbl.Font, new SolidBrush(lbl.ForeColor), rect.Location.X, rect.Location.Y); } }
