Display loading animation while starting up a form in VB .NET

Question

I understand this might be asked before :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/403202/show-a-loading-screen-in-vb-net

But anyone can provide me something like :

' Show Loading Screen  
  --> Do anything like initializing or updating UI
' Close Loading Screen

In this case I can fire (Show Loading Screen) anywhere in the form I want,
Like

Dim LoadingScreen as New LoadingScreen
LoadingScreen.ShowLoading()
' Do things
'
'
LoadingScreen.StopLoading()

Answer 1

I seem to have found the answer.
