?? I don't know what you want, but if you want to change background color of a form, just do like this: MyForm myForm = new MyForm(); // Here is your form myForm.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; // Change the background color to red.

The BackgroundImage property has been a part of every control since .NET 1.0, so I am sure it exists in yours! Are you sure you have a form, not a console application? Can you open the designer view on it? If so, then check the properties are listed A-Z and that you aren't viewing the events. If really desparate, try using intellisense and check it programatically:

frmMine fm = new frmMine();
fm.BackgroundImage = @"C:\Pic.jpg";

If this comes up with errors, then paste your code here, with the error message.
