You can show a form which do not have any control box, borders and title bar as a Splash Screen. Use this form as the main application form and unload it after a few seconds (what ever you want) and then load the main application form.

I agree. This would be the easiest way to do it.

Hi
If you put splash form as a main form and then if you close the splash form the application process will be ended.you can just set the visible option to false in that case.I think you should read that article above at CodeProject.

Actually that is not true, the application will not exit until ALL window in the application have been closed. So you can make the main window your splash screen, as long as you load and show another window before you close the splash screen your application will continue to run fine.

I know this because I have used the approach for a client side application which starts up with a login box which upon login loads the application's main MDI windows (not the main window in the app) and than kills the login window.
