Perfect way to show a splash screen

private static void DoSplash() { SplashScreen sp = new SplashScreen(); sp.ShowDialog(); while (true) { Thread.Sleep(200); } } -

private static void DoSplash() { SplashScreen sp = new SplashScreen(); sp.ShowDialog(); while (true) { Thread.Sleep(200); } }What was someone thinking putting that while loop together. :doh: :doh: :doh: Splash screen or not, that code has found it's rightful home. :)

private static void DoSplash() { SplashScreen sp = new SplashScreen(); sp.ShowDialog(); while (true) { Thread.Sleep(200); } }Intuitive design, isn't it? You have to close the splash screen manually, and afterwards nothing happens, though the process still "lives" in TaskManager. Wonderful! By the way, haven't you found further gems in the SplashScreen class, e.g. showing the main window of the application?

SplashScreen class does not contain any user code, only Visual Studio generated stuff (i.e. only constructor with
InitializeComponent). This splash screen is launched in some sort of background thread and is terminated later by callingThread.Abort. Surely it doesn't quite work. Splash screen hangs in front of main window until you move a mouse. I'm just too ignorant to understand deep logic which is embedded inside all that :) . -

Just a simple trap for next developer. The idea is, when the next developer spot the use of
Thread.Abortand replace it with aTimerandClose(), the process will be caught inwhileloop. [edit]Why would someone downvote that? Have a 5 to counter it.Oxfords English < Official CCC Players Dictionary Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D

Classic.

That will definitely show a splash screen and make sure it stays around long enough for people to see it. ;) :laugh:
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
Ohhh... but that we don't know. We can't see what the other threads, if any, are doing with windows popping up... :^)
