If you add a control at design time when setting the background to transparent it 'displays' the background of the form not the control on which it was placed unless that control is a container such as a panel.

2 options:

1 place the label on a panel and the label then displays the panel background (which can be a picture if that is what you are trying to do)

2 place the label programatically i.e.

dim Label1 As New Label
Control.Controls.Add(Label1)
Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
