    Should I use the PictureBox Image or BackgroundImage

    For various reasons I want to use a PictureBox to display images.
    That is I want sometimes to assign an Image to the PictureBox
    Sometimes I want to draw on that Image.

    What are the reasons for and against using the PictureBox Image property,
    and what are they for using the
    BackgroundImage .



    Looking for help in deciding which to use.





    Thanks

      Background is that, a background image for a control which has other
      features, it won't be nice (or smart) to use let's say a Textbox just for
      its background image instead of his main feature.

      With such little details as you provided in your post I would suggest u to
      go with the PictureBox

          Thanks, I am going with the PictureBox but wonder if I should use the Image
          or BackgroundImage to draw on.
