C# Splash Loading Page

Question

Im about to start working on a big application (big for me anyway :P) and i was wondering, how do i create a splash page for the program that shows up as soon as the exe is launched and disappears when all of the exe is loaded?

Check out this code project article. It includes both the full code of the splash screen code and an example of how to use it

Answer 2

MS made this easy if you're using VB.NET. However, you can still make this work in C#. Have a look at WindowsFormsApplicationBase.

See this question, too.

Answer 3

If you are using WPF then simply load an image into the project, right click > properties, and choose splash screen. WPF should take care of the rest for you :)
