If this has been addressed, please believe me I apologize for the annoyance, if it has not, then well I must be an idiot, which is probably true, but anyway. I made a splash screen, actually I made a form that I want to use as a splash screen. I get either one of two things happening. The screen comes up and stays up. or it comes up and disappears so fast that you don't even see it. The application is not that big, but I'm using it just.........because it's just the norm. So how on god's green earth can I make this work. Essentially I got the form
splash g = new splash
g.showdialog();
g.close();
when I used the dialog it just stays up there. When I use the .show then it comes up and down so fast that you can't see it. So how do I do this. Yes I'm a noob and I do greatly appreciate your patience and your help with this.
Thank you

Try this:
In the constructor of your main form:
Splash g = new Splash();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
g.Show();
Application.DoEvents();
}
Then add an event handler for the form's Activated event:
private void Form1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread.Sleep(3000);
g.Close();
}
You will need to add a
using System.Threading;
directive.
