Hi,

You can do this by either setting the button BackgroundImage property from your properties window or you can do this programmatically like for this sample below:

button1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Chrysanthemum.jpg");

Hope it helps

u can also add the image(s) to 'Resources' of ur project

and then set the background image source from there

this way the image stays in ur project and can move with ur project 

this.button1.BackgroundImage = NameSpace1.Properties.Resources.UntitledImage2;

Very useful, but NameSpace1 should not be mention
