How to get the user's wallpaper

As the title I would like the effect like UAC's background

Here is a code I found from web.

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace cleandesktop
{
    internal static class Program
    {
        [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
        static extern bool SystemParametersInfo(uint uAction, uint uParam, StringBuilder lpvParam, uint init);
        const uint SPI_GETDESKWALLPAPER = 0x0073;
        static void Main(string[]) args
        {
            StringBuilder wallPaperPath = new StringBuilder(200);
            if (SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETDESKWALLPAPER, 200, wallPaperPath, 0))
            {
                MessageBox.Show(wallPaperPath.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

This code get the path of the wallpaper picture, but this code only works when users hadn't delete their wallpaper picture.

PaintDesktop

The PaintDesktop function fills the clipping region in the specified device context with the desktop pattern or wallpaper.
