Transparent Areas of PNG files do not render Properly

I had replied to another post hinting at this, but I think I now can confirm that the transparent areas on PNG files do not show up transparent in WPF/E.

They do in WPF

I confirmed by using expression blend, open a full WPF file, add an image element, as below

<Image Width="159" Height="73" Canvas.Left="265" Canvas.Top="136" Source="arrow6.png"/>

Using Image6.png which is an image I have with a tranparent area, this renders correctly with all transparent areas, showing as prorerly transparent.

Using the same image file, and same image markup in WPF/E does not render the transparent areas properly.

Hope this helps
