Re: form's backgroundimage
ok i took Steven's advice and found the same thing your showing:
Me.BackgroundIm age = Image.FromFile( "Untitled1.png" )
i noticed however when i compile i just have a single executable which i
guess contains the current image. is there a way to keep it a single
executable when i want to add a 2nd image and switch between the two images
via mouse wheel event?

Re: form's backgroundimage
also, i noticed it overlapped my first image. do i need to clear the
background first and then replace with my 2nd image?

Re: form's backgroundimage

repost after i have a clearer understanding.

Re: form's backgroundimage
That would be a good idea.
If you want to be drawing multiple images all the time, a background
image or picturebox might not be the best option. There is an entire
namespace (System.Drawing ) dedicated to drawing to surfaces. Generally,
most controls / forms have an OnPaint event where you can customise
what gets painted (drawn) to that surface
Also when changing images the way you are, its good to invalidate the
control/form.
Refresh is also an option, although may cause flicker.
Further topics found in MSDN if you search for GDI or GDI+.
Should be some walkthroughs for the OnPaint stuff.
