Ok, first off. Welcome to daniweb. Don't make it a habit to come post ambiguous questions without even pretending you know what you are dong. Please read this before posting on daniweb. http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement61-2.html

With that said. this is so simple I just did it for you. Here is a snippet for a transparent Picturebox control. This one is on the house. No more freebies. You'll have to show that you are trying.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

namespace Transparent_picturebox
{
   public  class TransPicturebox : Control
    {

       public TransPicturebox()
       {
           this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw | ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor | ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
           this.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
       }


       private Image _Image;

       public Image Image
       {
           get
           {
               return _Image;
           }
           set
           {
               _Image = value;
           }
       }


       private bool _autoscale = true;

       public bool AutoScale
       {
           get
           {
               return _autoscale;
           }
           set
           {
               _autoscale = value;
           }
       }

       protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
       {
           base.OnPaint(e);

           if (_Image != null) //keep from crashing if there is no image
           {
               if (_autoscale)
               {
                   //Auto Scale the image to fit in the text box
                   Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();
                   Size size = this.Image.Size;
                   float num = Math.Min((float)(((float)base.ClientRectangle.Width) / ((float)size.Width)), (float)(((float)base.ClientRectangle.Height) / ((float)size.Height)));
                   rectangle.Width = (int)(size.Width * num);
                   rectangle.Height = (int)(size.Height * num);
                   rectangle.X = (base.ClientRectangle.Width - rectangle.Width) / 2;
                   rectangle.Y = (base.ClientRectangle.Height - rectangle.Height) / 2;

                   e.Graphics.DrawImage(_Image, rectangle);
               }
               else
               {
                   e.Graphics.DrawImage(_Image, new Point(0,0));
               }

           }
       }

    }
}
