Every time I do a search this forum comes up so I guess people know what they are talking about here...

Well, I had a graphic designer create an image for a splash screen. Now the problem is I cant seem to figure out how to display the image upon application loadup. The image is in jpg form and I looked at the samples and tried to mimic the graphic and image classes but to no avail. Im trying to attempt this in VB.net so if anyone could help, Id greatly appreciate it. Again. Im looking to see how to display an image at the start of the program as in a splash screen.
 
a splash screen is also a form just without any borders

set the FormBorderStyle to none and then you can use BackgroundImage or OnPaint event or whatever you prefer :)
 
just a quite simple question, but thanks :)

Windows also has some automatic position method where you can display it in the center of your screen, which is optimal for splash screens
