Have a look at the AlphaBlend() API call. Since the image control is actually rendered onto it's parent control at
runtime it would be possible to use the image control as a source (just hide it during the fade-in) but probably easier
without since you have more control.
Have a look at this old post (just the AlphaBlend() part, ignore the rest!) for example syntax if you need it:
