How to use a Transparency key in Splash Screen

Question

Dear All,

I have designed a JPG file and want to use in splash screen in my vb.net project. I have set this image in form's background image property. In this JPG file, the blank space is filled with white background by default. But I dont need to show this white background in splash screen. Someone told me that there is a way to do this job by using transparency key. I tried alot by setting form's transparency key to white and also form's back color to white, but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me...

Thanks
