If this is WinForms then you need to be a bit cleverer and play the Opacity using setstyle - there is an MS Article that tells you how How to: Give Your Control a Transparent Background[^] and a slightly more in-depth one here on CodeProject Transparent Bitmap Buttons with Alpha-Blended Regions in .NET[^]

With WPF you have to play around with the brush's opacity - Brush.Opacity Property (System.Windows.Media)[^]

In Web stuff you should be able to use

MyButton.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

or do it in the CSS

background-color: transparent;
