Splash Screens and non-rectangular windows

I use a slightly different approach for my splash screens, but I think the end result is the same: Public Class ApplicationEntryPoint Private Shared m_splash As SplashScreen Private Shared m_context As ApplicationContext Private Sub New() End Sub <STAThread()> _ Public Shared Sub Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) m_context = New ApplicationContext() If CmdArgs.Length > 0 AndAlso CmdArgs(0) = "/NoSplash" Then m_context.MainForm = New MainForm() Else AddHandler Application.Idle, AddressOf AppIdle m_splash = New SplashScreen() m_splash.TopMost = True m_splash.Show() End If Application.Run(m_context) End Sub Private Shared Sub AppIdle(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) If m_context.MainForm Is Nothing Then RemoveHandler Application.Idle, AddressOf AppIdle m_context.MainForm = New MainForm() m_context.MainForm.Show() m_splash.Close() m_splash = Nothing End If End Sub End Class

Nice code for the non-rectangular way but I created a new class for splash screen and frmMain in C#.
There is a timer set in frmSplash whose tick event has databaseconnection code and this.Close(); to close the frmSplash
:) The additional class is as follows

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace MyNamespace.Classes
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for clsMain.
/// </summary>
public class clsMain
{
public clsMain()
{
}
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
frmSplash objfrmSplash = new frmSplash();
objfrmSplash.ShowDialog();

clsGlobal.g_objfrmMain = new frmMain();
//clsGlobal.g_objfrmMain.Show();

Application.Run(clsGlobal.g_objfrmMain);

}
}
}

Have a nice time :)

James Avery makes a point that Eric Gunnerson has a way of doing splash screens. Unfortunately...
