I have the following code placed inside an MDI Parent Form's Paint method:
    Private Sub frmMain_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint

        '***************************************
        ' Initialize Variables
        '***************************************
        Dim brushBlueGradient As LinearGradientBrush

        '***************************************
        ' Default Values
        '***************************************
        brushBlueGradient = New LinearGradientBrush(Me.ClientRectangle, _
                                                    Color.FromArgb(115, 160, 196), _
                                                    Color.FromArgb(194, 213, 224), _
                                                    LinearGradientMode.Vertical)

        '***************************************
        ' Draw Main Gradient Area
        '***************************************
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brushBlueGradient, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height))
    End Sub
Yet when it runs, the MDI Parent's background is not changed. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.
