Background Image does not expand ?

Question

I Built a logo (Bitmap Image) the size of my window form. It looks fine when I run the debuger howener when I enlarge the window (upper right hand control) the window expands but the background image does not it tiles the image into 4 seperate images. I am working with the windows properity control box in vb.net I know little about code yet. Any ideas would be helpful. Tnx Chuck

You can override the Paint event of your form and draw a scaled version of the image. I believe there is an overload of the constructor for Bitmap that takes another bitmap and a new size and scales it appropriately. So it should go something like this: Graphics o = new Graphics(myform);//Create graphics object so we can draw on the form. Bitmap i = new Bitmap(myoldpicturenewwidthnewheight);//Scale the bitmap to the form's size. o.DrawImage(i);//Add extra arguments to function here; I forgot what they were. i.Dispose();//Dispose of the bitmap object. o.Dispose();//Dispose of the graphics object. You said you were using VB.NET but since my code was more psuedo-code than useable and thus you wouldn't use it directly I'm sure you understand.
