Scenario I have a splash screen with a marque progressbar that is suppose to animate, indicating to the user that programming is initializing and starting up.

This (splashscreen) form is the first thing to start off - even before Application.Run(theMainForm).

Question: How do I update this splash screen to enable functionality (such as the animated progress bar).

Note I'm aware that Application.Run() is the message loop/pump for windows and that is NOT my question

You can put it in its own thread starting from Application.Run, take a look: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5454/A-Pretty-Good-Splash-Screen-in-C
