Add image to vb.net form

I know it is possible to change icon on a vb.net form but what I would like to do is dsplay an image that is contained in a jpeg file.  I tried to convert the jpeg to an icon but it is way to small

Any ideas?

If you go the the project properties, Resources, and add a new Icon resource you may be able to cut>paste into the VStudio Icon Editor. If you are the artistic type, you might be able to recreate what you want. I am not, so I outsource :-)
If that wont work for you, its probably a job for a graphic designer. I usually hire somebody from Rent-A-Coder, they usually do a good job for like $20 and get it back to you quickly.

hmmmm

well...I guess I could go with the picture box

I have set the text to nothing...is it possible to change the color of the title bar to something other than blue?
Well you can't use a picturebox in the title bar itself unless you come up with your own title bar...this is doable, but means you must provide for minimize, maximize, windows dragging, etc.

I don't think you can change the color in code if it is adhering to a Windows Theme.
