Splash Screen in C Sharp...

Description

Splash Screen for Windows Forms Application C# Let's Begin 1. Create a new project in Visual Studio as in the following:

2. I created a simple Hello World application (MainForm.cs) that will be shown after the splash screen.

3. Add another form that will be used as the splash screen for this project as in the following:

4. Change the Border style of the SplashSreen form to none.

5. Change the start position to the center of the screen so the splash screen displays in the center of the screen.

6. Add a PictureBox to the SplashScreen form using the toolbox. Actually I am using an image for the splash screen (you can try something different).

7. Go to the file program.cs that contains the Main() method and make sure that the program starts with the SplashScreen form. Application.Run(new SplashScreen()); 8. Go to the SplashScreen.cs for the form, click on "Events" and double-click on the "Shown" event as in the following:

9. Add this code: //Use timer class Timer tmr; private void SplashScreen_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e) { tmr = new Timer(); //set time interval 3 sec tmr.Interval = 3000;

//starts the timer tmr.Start(); tmr.Tick += tmr_Tick; } void tmr_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { //after 3 sec stop the timer tmr.Stop(); //display mainform Mainform mf = new Mainform(); mf.Show(); //hide this form this.Hide(); }

10. Go to the Events for the MainForm.cs form.

Double-click on the FormClosed Event and add this Code: private void Mainform_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e) { //exit application when form is closed Application.Exit(); }

Now Run and Enjoy...
