Is it possible? Splash/login as seperate application
-
Before i tear my thinning hair out, is it possible to launch an app by having a splash screen and then login form show, and if the login is correct then close this down and launch the main app as MdiParent with Children forms as user input, I am presuming this will allow me to catch if a path to the database is ok before launching the main app. (At the moment i am opening the MdiParent and hiding it, then displaying the splash and then logon. It doesn't look pretty.)

If the main app is a seperate exe, what stops people bypassing your login ?

I use the following process Application entry point is Sub Main. Display the splash screen with form.show Do the login useing a form.show (we use a seperate DLL for this) if the validation is successful then do the Application.Rum(mainform)
