splashScreen, .exe and con class

[r_jaz]

Hi every one, I have some questions in c# and i'd appreciate any help with this concern. 1)I can't find the splash screen option in the properties of the project and i could'nt add it from add new item dialog box, so how can i add a splash screen?? 2)I need to have a database (ms access) in my application, how can i create the setup for my application that includes the database and other resources such as some .swf files?? 3) can i convert an image (say .jpeg) to an icon (.ico) using the Icon class?? How?? Thanks in advance to all..

In C#, you have to create a splash screen out of a form, then call it as the startup form.

Just use a bitmap and save it in an icon format, like so:

Bitmap bmp;
bmp = new Bitmap(@"C:\Image.png");
bmp.Save(@"C:\Icon.ico", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);

2- Create a new Setup and Deployment -> Setup Project from the File->New->Proect and create your folders, choose what to add into your folders. NOTE: Better if you use Sql Server Express Edition 2005 (free and better than MS Access)
