Implementing this article with .net cf 2.0 possible?

Don't see any reason why it won't work on .NETCF 2.0. The DrawAlpha method
is not part of .NETCF3.5 - you'll need to download Alex's accompanying
code - it's an extension method implemented in the GraphicsExtender class in
Alex's library.

thank you all for your replies. I got it work....the sample code has a
reference to system.core which is not available in .net cf 2.0 - so I
followed the instructions from Chris and it works.

thx
 
After playing a little bit with the code I noticed a problem:

when calling the BackgroundForm from form1 it does not matter that
BackgroundForm is set to WindowState.Maximized - it just jumps back to window
mode from fullscreen which is really annoying because then it draws the
taskbar....is there any way to avoid this?? thx
 
this code overrides the OnPaintBackground() to see the background dimmed
(unfortunately with the taskbar although the windowstate is set to maximized)

but when I do not override the OnPaintBackground() then it is in maximized
mode....strange?
