Kevin,

Maybe is yours better and did I even write the wrong method in my previous
reply.

However I use normally is. (watch typos, I typed most it in this message)

\\\
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
picImage.Image = Image.FromFile(openFileDialog1.FileName)
End If
////

Have a look at the overloaded method as well.

I hope this helps,

Cor

BMP doesn't support transparent backcolors at all. Use the code below to
load a transparent GIF file:

\\\
Dim o As New OpenFileDialog()
If o.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Me.PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(o.FileName)
End If
o.Dispose()
///

We can set colors in bitmaps to transparent in VB.Net so shouldn't bmp handle
transparent backgrounds if using 32bit bitmaps? I know you are correct
because I've tried saving 32 bit bitmaps with a color transparent and it
doesn't work.

You can actually make the bitmap transparent in memory by calling its
'MakeTransparent' method, for example.
