Image during app startup

Hi,

Does anyone know how to have an image displayed while my application is starting up, just the same as programs like Word, Acrobat Reader...

I thought of using a form or a user control which would be displayed during a fixed time, but don't know how to have either a form or a user control displayed during just some time.

Thanks for your help.

Well, use a module with Sub_Main() event, fire up a form with an image, load everything, remove the form with the image and pop the main form out...

Or use a splash form as startup form and load the main form from it... bah there are many ways to do it....
