You can utilize this code to make an user control transparent:
In the user control's Load event:
SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColo r, True)
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0, 0)
I actually just found the above code on a web page couple hours ago (sorry,
I don't have the link handy). It seems to work fine in VS 2003, but in my
case, the background is just a colored panel. I have also seen messages
that indicates that there is a bug in the Whidbey release that causes the
underlying display to not display properly.

Hi tom the method you suggest does not make a windows form control for C#
transparent. Although transparent is initially accepted the program
crashes after a few seconds. The code for C# is also different from this even
including "this" and";"
