How would I make the background of a form (which is usually one boring color) a dynamic gradient, measuring by size of the form and creating the gradient from there?

Thanks

create a lineargradientbrush and on the forms paint event fill the clientrectangle spluah!

protected override void  OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
        {
 	      base.OnPaint(e);

          using (LinearGradientBrush lgb = new LinearGradientBrush(this.ClientRectangle, Color.Blue, Color.Black, 90f))
          {

              e.Graphics.FillRectangle(lgb, this.ClientRectangle);

          }
        }

don't forget to add the namespaces:

using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Drawing;

have fun!

I'll create a roster in the .NET Developers groups after I submit the idea to the community feedback center and watch it probably get rejected.
