Im about to start working on a big application (big for me anyway :P) and i was wondering, how do i create a splash page for the program that shows up as soon as the exe is launched and disappears when all of the exe is loaded?

  • While your question is kind of valid, I suggest that you forget the splash screen for now and just add it later if the startup time really justifies this. – OregonGhost Jun 02 '09 at 15:11

MS made this easy if you're using VB.NET. However, you can still make this work in C#. Have a look at WindowsFormsApplicationBase.

See this question, too.

If you are using WPF then simply load an image into the project, right click > properties, and choose splash screen. WPF should take care of the rest for you :)
