    Hey Experts I have used a lot of time finding the best solution on how to build a widget, like the one from Yahoo widget engine in C#. The problem is the transparent look, where for example the background can be round and with a drop shadow. I have tried a few tutorial, but they result in a lot of aliasing. The result i would like is like the picture on the following link: http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=40459[^] I totally new to C#, but can I already loves it, so I hope somebody can produce me a little sample application. I hope somebody can help me

      Not sure what you want here - to create web controls, windows controls, or what ? I presume you have a background in other programming languages ?

        No I just want to transform the widget to C#-language instead of using the widget engine. I have just made a background with dropshadow in photoshop. I want this no be the background and on top i will place some windows komponents. I have uploaded the picture on http://www.control.aau.dk/~ksno04-nobackup/background.png[^] Was that a bit more clear?

          A couple of days ago someone posted this article http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/AlphaForm.asp[^] It might assist you in what you are attempting to do - it's a start anyway... Mark.
