Michael,

The control class is the base class of all controls including forms.

This property you find in all controls.(because the inherit from it)

Therefore you can do not have to cast to individual controls when you have
by instance an event that is for all controls.

Than you can do.
directcast(sender,control).backgroundimage = image.imagefromfile("blabla")

Watch that this is for a windowform control and not a web.ui.control

I hope this helps?

What doesn't work? Are you trying to assign a background image to a
control? Notice that all controls inherit this property, but some
controls do not implement it, so setting the background image doesn't
cause an image to be displayed in the background for all controls.

Herfried,

I was looking for a text, I think you found the right one. I added an extra
sentence for it.

Notice that all controls inherit this property, but some
controls do not implement it, so setting the background image doesn't
cause an image to be displayed in the background for all controls.

What is for more properties which are inherited, while some properties are
in some controls overidden, by instance Text.

this article by MSDN, I have tried what you suggested but the background
image still does not appear.

Michael,

See the text Herfried, added and to what I again addes something.
What you try to do is nothing the way, when you cannot do it using the
datagrid itself, you cannot do it using the class it derives it from.

It is an overridable property so you can do your own code, however I did not
see a sample on Google for that, what is mostly when it is easy.

Michael,

I cannot understand my own message, I was in a very hurry when I wrote it.

Here a corrected text.
