You can use "this" keyword to set the background image property.
this means the form you currently are.

this.BackgroundImage = "your image";

If you want to set the image on some other form, its not good to set it from some other form (over classes). Better to create a new instance of that form, and while in Constructor set it there, using my upper code.

"axWindowsMediaPlayer1.ContainingControl.BackgroundImage" is the background of the container of the MediaPlayer object!
I am not sure that you can do what you want with the MediaPlayer SDK.

This link shows why I think this.
All the background changers are modifying the registry!
