Hi Craig,

This unfortunately is a bug of WinForms. The best work around for the image is to hide it when you display your first form and then once the last form is closed, show it again.

>Here's the example:
>I have a windows forms application, the main (startup) form is an MDI Parent form. I want to display an image as a background picture for the application, centred on the screen. If I set the background image for the form, the image repeats and I can't see an obvious property that will prevent it.
>If I add a picturebox to the form, I can get the image to display correctly, however any MDI Child forms that are opened, open up underneath the picture box.
