Henry,
In addition to the other comments.
I've set the BackgroundImage of the from to an image that was painted with a
gradient brush, something like:
Protected Overrides Sub OnLayout(ByVal e As LayoutEventArgs )
MyBase.OnLayout (e)
If Not Me.BackgroundIm age Is Nothing Then
If Size.op_Equalit y(Me.Background Image.Size, Me.ClientSize) Then
Exit Sub
End If
Me.BackgroundIm age.Dispose()
Me.BackgroundIm age = Nothing
End If
Dim rect As New Rectangle(New Point(0, 0), Me.ClientSize)
Dim image As New Bitmap(Me.Clien tSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.H eight)
Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(image)
Dim brush As New LinearGradientB rush(rect,
ControlPaint.Li ghtLight(Me.Bac kColor), Me.BackColor,
LinearGradientM ode.Vertical)
brush.SetBlendT riangularShape( 2 / 3)
gr.FillRectangl e(brush, rect)
gr.Dispose()
brush.Dispose()
Me.BackgroundIm age = image
End Sub
Hope this helps
Jay

In my Winforms app I'm trying to get an image's background to appear

I'm looking for information or samples of how to display a gradient
background color for an ASP.NET web page. I want to be able to set a start
and end color (e.g. Light Orange to White) and have the page rendered with
that gradient background from left to right. Using google I found several
examples but they all appeared to apply only to Windows Forms

How do you provide a consistent gradient fill as a background in a
liquid layout?
If I make a gradient fill image say 1000 pixels wide (and repeat it down
the page) to suit a typical computer display, then only a small portion
of the gradient will show if the viewpoint is a smaller PDA or phone
display.
On the other hand, if viewed full screen on a 1920 pixel wide display, I
would run out of gradient on one or both sides of the page....

My current code paints a rectangular area at the top (under the menu and
tool strip) and bottom (top of the status strip) of the main form with a
linear gradient. The problem is that when the form is resized or maximized
for that matter, the form still displays the last areas that were painted
with gradient. Basically the form does not erase the last graphics that
were painted to the form and just paints over it with the new. My code is...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
