Using your documentation I do have this working but there is a problem. It is working on my desktop in a visual studio web form. I cannot get away from giving it an absolute reference to the graphics *.gif file. In the default.aspx page there can be a relative reference to "~/WaterMark.gif" but trying to apply the same file to Fillstyle I am forced to use "E:\\Development\\Production\\Energy Chart\\Energy Chart\\WaterMark.gif". When I publish this to the web it produces a black rectangle? It certainly looks all wrong. Essentially the control will not recognise the gif file that is part of the solution.
