I have tried so hard to find a transparent textbox on the web but all in vain.
so i have tried to create a one..
This a User Control not a Custom Control so it has less functionality that the traditional texbox but i have tried to cover most of the important properties.
here are some pics..
This Control is inherited from UserControl
