I am making a windows forms application in C# using Visual Studio 2012.

I want to add a splash screen to it.

I googled about if but most of them I read are using a timer. But I do not want to show the startup/splash screen on an exact time period.

I only want to show it while loading the main applcation. How can I achieve this ?

AFAIK you can specify a splash screen in Application Properties. – Kamil T May 14 '14 at 07:58

@wonko79 Thanks for the comment. I refereed to that before. It is using timers. – user3218743 May 14 '14 at 08:04
@kamilT Could you please explain it a little ? – user3218743 May 14 '14 at 08:05
@KamilT Not for Windows Forms applications. – Thorsten Dittmar May 14 '14 at 08:07
