I have tried absolutely everything I could get my hand on, and it just won't work ! Has anyone ever solved this problem?

I can put my image in the back, but it works only if the form never tries to be resized (shrinking is OK, growing leaves empty grey space...)

Two options:

  • Set Background image and change the BackgroundImageLayout property to Stretch (as suggested by Guster_Q)
  • Set your image in a imagecontrol and set it docking property to fill
