I wanted to know why I get this error when trying to put a background image in a form of windows form. I have seen like 3 tutorials where they put the same code and it does not give them error, I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
I do not want to put it directly in the properties of the form because I understand that there I can not tell the image that fits the size of the form.
You could work this way:
// Metodo para convertir byte a Image
public Image DeByteImagen(string rutaImagen)
{
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(rutaImagen));
Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(memoryStream);
return returnImage;
}
When loading the form (in the Load method)
this.BackgroundImage = DeByteImagen(Application.StartupPath + @"\img\Huellitas.jpg");
this.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
You can do it quietly from the properties. First add the image in the property BackgroundImage and then adjust it with the property BackgroundImageLayout = Stretch for example. Greetings!
