Make a Splash screen in C#

In this tutorial we will see how to make a Splash screen in C# Windows Form Application.

First add a Windows Form to your application and name it SplashScreen and set its FormBorderStyle property to None, then add a PictureBox and make its size the same as the SplashScreen Windows Form and load your Image to this PictureBox:

In Program.cs , modify the Main void:

static void Main()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

    SplashScreen f = new SplashScreen();
    f.Shown += new EventHandler((o, e) =>
    {
        System.Threading.Thread t = new System.Threading.Thread(() =>
        {
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2500);
                f.Invoke(new Action(()=>{f.Close();}));
        });
        t.IsBackground = true;
        t.Start();
    });
    Application.Run(f);
    Application.Run(new Form1());
}
