Hi,
I want to show a splash screen to user when user runs an application. It is possible to show a splash screen when loading windows form but, is there any i can show a splash screen when my application is being launched i mean when .net framework is loading in the memory.
Thanx
Anything you write using the .NET framwork needs the framework loaded, so not that I'm aware of, no. I suppose you could create some sort of application that launches your .NET application. That first app wouldn't be able to use the .NET framework, though, and it seems a bit convoluted anyway.
If you need to show something while main .NET application is not even started, you need an external launcher (written in WinAPI, maybe?)
In order to do that you would have to either use a process to launch you application or implement your own runtime host. There's an excellent book on how to do the latter, but I doubt that it will be worth the trouble just to show a splash screen.
If you are using WPF, and experiencing delays, you can try this:

It's a splash screen that is loaded/displayed as soon as possible, before the WPF components are loaded and initialised.
