You would use this when you load your application, or whenever you want to set it.

button.BackgroundImage = YourApplicationNamespace.Properties.Resources.yourImageHere;

In Visual Studio, you can do this:

  1. Go to the properties for your button and click the BackgroundImage item.
  2. Click the '...' icon.
  3. Click the radio button next to 'Local Resource'.
  4. Click 'Import' and select the item you wish to have as the background.
  5. Then, click 'Ok'.

Or, from code you can do this:

button1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(Properties.Resources.Image));

Simply set the BackgroundImage property of the Button. An example:

button1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(Properties.Resources.Image));
