How to make Splash Screen?

[Khoramdin]

Hello everyone, I am trying to add a Splash Screen to my Windows Application. I have searched the internet and I have came across "A Pretty Good Splash Screen in C#" by Tom Clement. As I tried to follow the Tom's tutorial, I came to the point that he asks, "Add a Windows Form to the project and name it SplashScreen. Delete Form1.cs.". I am wondering if I delete my Windows Form, then what I am making the splash screen for?!!! I am puzzled and I was wondering if someone can help me out on this. Thank you very much and have a great day. Khoramdin

Here is one of the easiest one: In your main Program.cs call a Form: --Name that form splash screen, --Set the property 'FormBorderStyle' = 'None' --call a method show splash so basically you will write as below: public SplashForm() { InitializeComponent(); } public void ShowSplash() { Thread.Sleep(1000); this.Close(); } Now in main write this: SplashForm f2 = new SplashForm(); f2.Show(); f2.ShowSplash(); This will work as a splash screen!!

Better ask your question to Tom Clement itself instead of posting it here. there is a Discussion board below the article.
