The clue is in your original requirement.

You need to set the Form.BackgroundImage property.
MSDN BackgroundImage Property

as per site u have given to me. It apply to form which are stored in the imeage list but I want to apply from difrent locations. Example : c drive, d drive where the user stored his images. I tried to make some changes on coding given by the site but it not apply to the form. if you know that which property i have to set to speacify the path yhen plaese tell me..

You can set image from anywhere using the BackgroundImage property.

Here's an example:

this.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\images\wallpaper.jpg");

You can use BackgroundImage property of form
