Hi all,



My wife is trying to create a nice background logo to be used in my custom Login form, but for some reason, when I try to use the image as a background it display a white column on the left and not matter what I do, it will not cover all the form. I also test it with a PictureBox and got the same result.



I noticed that the StrataFlix login sample uses a custom background image (not included in the project), is there any specific rule or setting I should tell my wife about this image so it can be used on my forms? She is using Adobe illustrator to create the image.



Thanks!

Believe it or not you can't actually CROP an image in Illustrator!  You can achieve the same effect though by going through about a dozen ugly steps but it is just easier to use practically anything else.

Speaking of the iPhone, I noticed this the other day.  This would be the way to go but is expensive at $800:

I have always want to mess around with iPhone apps too.  My wife has one and the potential just seems enormous.  I only just recently started looking into it but I know you can do it just using AJAX

Hi Russell,

Sorry I missed this post.



Thanks a lot for the iPhone links, I will check them all and post back my findings, even though I estimate I will working on the iPhone project around November this year.



The Component One looks inviting, since I believe you work with .NET and they will just add the iPhone look alike controls, but the application most be over the web, APS.NET I guess.



I am more toward to creating this application native in xCode I believe its their language, so the application will be installed in the iPhone and will only connect to the web to grab the data. Anyway I will investigate all the possibilities before starting the project.
