loading a simple semi transparent PNG in Windows Mobile using C#

Question

I am new to Windows Mobile programming. I want to load a PNG file which has an Alpha Channel. After 2 days of searching in Internet, I am still at square 1. Can someone help me? I got an example which uses uses a wrapper to access the AlphaBlend API. But when I set the AC_SRC_ALPHA flag in BlendingFunction, it does not draw anything.

Answer 1

I've use the WindowslessControls library from Koushik Dutta for using PNGs with an alpha channel and have found it great.
