How to: Set the background of a Windows Forms panel using the Designer
A Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel control can display both a background color and a background image. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackColor%2A property sets the background color for controls that are contained in the panel, such as labels and radio buttons. If the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackgroundImage%2A property is not set, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackColor%2A selection will fill all of the panel. If the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackgroundImage%2A property is set, the image will be displayed behind the controls that are contained in the panel.
The following procedure requires a Windows Application project with a form that contains a xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel control. For information about how to set up such a project in Visual Studio, see How to: Create a Windows Forms application project and How to: Add Controls to Windows Forms.
