I don't see anything wrong with this code. How are you using it? Is the 
Image the same size as the Panel? Put this in a small, complete app, and 
see if it works. If not, post the whole thing here, and we'll see if we 
can figure out what it wrong.

Have you read the Wiki pages on Images and Bitmaps and graphics? There's 
some good stuff there.
