+1  Q: 

Splash screen on windows mobile.

Only that:

What is the best to do it?

I'm using C#, .Net Compact Framework 2.0 SP2, and Windows Mobile 5.0 and above.

I'm trying with a winForm but it takes long time to show. I want a splash screen that appear immediately (or as fast as possible).

Thank you!

+2  A: 

The problem you have to overcome is that the CLR has to be JITTed at the start. You can use a managed Form for your splash screen but you have to pay the CLR JIT price before anything can be displayed, which can be a few seconds on many devices. The best *from a perf standpoint) mechanism is to have a separate native app that shows the splash screen and in turn launches the managed app.

It's a good idea. I'm going to try it. Thank you!
