Introduction
A splash screen is one of those screens that are shown as an application is loading. You can use a splash screen for various reasons:
1) To show that your application is loading
2) To display information to the user such as product name and version.
3) Copyright information
This tutorial shows you how to create one.

i am running vb.net 2003. I cannot get the code for a splash screen to work. It is possible for u to send me code so it will work. Thanks
Hi,
I am working on a VB.NET application and wanted to implement a Splash screen, I have created a form from Scratch and pasted my .jpeg file on that form. In my main function, I have created an instance of that form
dim splash as frmSplash
splash = new frmSplash()
splash.show()
at this point, I can see a window only on the Windows task bar but not displayed on Screen. after this a statement is executed for main form i.e.
frmMain.showDialog()
after this statement, screen appears above main form.
When i use
splash.showDialog() in place of splash.show(),
the screen appears as required but application will not proceed furthur. It is not moving to next statement at all.
how can i correct this problem?
that bits obvious, but where about in the coding bo you put the interval bit (no, i cant read very well by the way)
Add a timer to the splash form and click on it to edit the properties
where do you put the interval
It is a good one, simple and to the point
thanks for the great tutorial, it was very easy to understand
Thanks
Mark
