How to add a GIF to a button
I tried to add a GIF to a button in C# by adding the GIF to resources and setting it as the button image, but it didn't work very well (next frames appear over the previous ones). The problem seems to be in a way how C# is treating transparency, but I don't know how to fix it.

1 of 2 things worked for me:
I've reedited the GIF, adding a property to every frame to undraw itself.
I've changed the version of VS (I was using free professional student version, now I'm using one from MSDN subscription)

GIF animation will play automatically if used on the .Image property but NOT on the .BackGroundImage one.

In order to do this, you need to do the following:
Set the BackGroundImageLayout property to Center. This property is set to Tile by default.
Set the Image property of the button to your animated GIF.
This will work, since I tested it, and it worked for me.
EDIT: Designer code posted below:
this.Button4.BackgroundImageLayout = System.Windows.Forms.ImageLayout.Center;
this.Button4.Image = (System.Drawing.Image)resources.GetObject("Button4.Image");
this.Button4.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(220, 329);
this.Button4.Name = "Button4";
this.Button4.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(81, 68);
this.Button4.TabIndex = 4;
this.Button4.Text = "Button4";
this.Button4.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
