Prerequisite

Introduction

Normally We can Set background color of form as Single Color/Solid Color but What if we want the Form Backgound Shaded By two colors ?

you can do it by Addin Image backgound but It will down performace so We have to use somthing that is already in .net to gain performace . See how to do that

Now See What we will get After Implementing this Code

Implementation

Forms OnPaint() Method is Raised when Form is Displayed on the Screen and By Ovverrideing this Event Web can change the Look and Feel of the form in c# .net

{codecitation class="brush: csharp; gutter: true;" width="650px"}

using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;

{/codecitation}

Then in Form's Source code Write Below

{codecitation class="brush: csharp; gutter: true;" width="650px"}

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Get Graphics Object Who painted the Form

Graphics g = e.Graphics;


// Define Rectangle Area in Which We Want to Work Usually Forms Whole area

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.Size.Width, this.Size.Height);

// Take a Linear Grediant Brush

LinearGradientBrush brush = new LinearGradientBrush(rect, Color.Orange, Color.Orchid,LinearGradientMode.ForwardDiagonal);

// Fill That Rectangle Area With Brush Paint

g.FillRectangle(brush, rect);


}

{/codecitation}

Thats It . You Will Get Two Colored Shaded From When you run Project .

Thank you
