How can I create images with transparent backgrounds for the toolbar?

I'm trying to use the Vista Snipping Tool to capture toolbar button images from an older app and use them in a VS2008, Windows.Forms project. The ToolStripButton class doesn't like .ico files for images, sometimes they appear and sometimes they don't, so I'm trying to use a different format (.bmp, .jpg, doesn't matter to me). My question is, how do I get a transparent background in one of these other formats? I can't find that as a color selection.
