How to Stop background image from scaling

hey guy, i need help in a very troubling matter. I want to make a textbox with a specific style, within this style a set of images as background parts, how can i attach these images to the custom control as whenever i take the .dll file and add it to the toolbar the images do not appear. So i tried to make them as resource files and their property as embedded in .resx file, so how to make the css style background image url to be linked to any of those image.

thanks in advance

One of the features that distinguishes Visual Basic® from the other languages in Visual Studio® is its use of a background compiler (BC). The BC runs from the moment you start up a Visual Basic project until the time you close the last one down.

I want to have the background of my masterpage (the master page for all of my .aspx pages) have a sort of gradient.  I imagine the only way I can do that is with an image.  Or maybe even some other design, but I want to move away from the "solid color" background.

Is the easiest way to do this just to make an image and set that as the background?  What image size should I make it, because some users could possibly have the normal aspect ratio, or maybe a widescreen?  What should I make it like so that it looks good on all computers?

Thanks in advance. :) 

Hi,

I have a panel like this. I have an image control inside this panel that I have put as a background image for the panel using the style where I adjusting the z-indexes.

This works fine!

I have put a label and a hyperlink like this in the <table>. The label can be seen but not the hyperlink which is the problem. I have tried to put a z-index to the hyperlink but that does not help.

How is it possible to see the hyperlink here also ? Thanks!
