I create an animation GIF image and added to my project as Splash screen.
When I run my application the splash screen appeared BUT the animation does not work !
Any suggestion?

WPF SplashScreen supports only static images. If you wish to use dynamic splash screen you have to emulate it with ordinary window. You can design it to be borderless (WindowStyle="None") and place gif image there (look up http://stackoverflow.com/questions/210922/how-do-i-get-an-animated-gif-to-work-in-wpf for how to do so) – Aloraman Jan 11 '17 at 18:28

But the normal window has a delay on startup – Abdulsalam Elsharif Jan 11 '17 at 22:35

In my practice the delay is negligible if you keep overhead at minimum, e.g. create splash window at very beginning of Application.Startup handling, have little or no dependencies (minimum third-party libraries, no IoC, all controls/styles are placed in the same assembly... for splash window and content, that is), therefore it is initialized and shown almost immediately – Aloraman Jan 13 '17 at 17:13
