Visual Studio 2012 C# Transparent Overlay Panel

I recently had a need to overlay a warning over all the tools I had displayed on a Panel.   Basically I wanted a transparent image over the entire panel that said something like "Warning" over and over again.

I found some clues on how to do this at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4463363/how-can-i-set-the-opacity-or-transparency-of-a-panel-in-winforms [1]

This guide will be a complete step by step on how to accomplish this.
