title: Water mark for Data Grid View in Windows Form using vb.net
body: <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HEtHW.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HEtHW.png" alt="Water mark for Data Grid View"></a></p>
  
  <p>I would like to add image as water mark in Data Grid View as shown in attached image.</p>
  
  <p>There is no Data Grid View property for background image to set picture and then set its opacity. I looked for third party to give ability of water mark I found telerik was providing but that is not free. </p>
  
  <p>I need free third party tool for Data Grid View water mark or a way to add watermark myself with out using any tool.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance  </p>
