VB.NET Transparent BG with PNG
I have a PNG - i created it in photoshop - it's a watermark type image.
I bring it into Visual Stuido 2005 and assign it to a PictureBox. When i do this, the background becomes the "Control color" and i can see the watermark image. If i move the PictureBox over another PictureBox, I don't get the watermark effect. Instead, it shows the "Control color" with the watermark, completely blocking out the image underneath.
I've tried changing the PictureBox's background to Transparent, but this doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

It's too bad the PictureBox control doesn't support true transparency - it would probably make things easier.
