Basically you set the form that you want to use as a splash screen in the program properties in Visual Studio. Very simple.

Solution 2

Open Your vb.net
Add new project
Go to properties of your form
Clear the Text
Set the FormBorderStyle to None.
Insert a background image.
Set the background image to stretch.
Add a ProgressBar, a Timer and a Label to your form.
Go to properties of timer set the Interval into 50 and Enabled to true.
Double click the Timer event.

Populate This Code Inside The Private Sub Timer_Tick;

 ProgressBar1.Increment(1)
       If ProgressBar1.value = 100 Then
              Me.hide() 
              form2.Show()
       End IF

Increment which mean to increase by 1.
form2.show to show an another form if the ProgressBar was done processing.
In a Label you must rename it whatever you want.

I am just a young guy interested in programming... and need help As many of us know, through life we can often be branded with nicknames. Mine was Kuzon, he is a character for the tv seires 'Avatar, The Last Airbender'. Kuzon was the second son of Fire Lord Izuma and Jiroh and the younger brother of Fire Lord Sozin. In his youth, he was also a good friend of Avatar Aang. Although he was appointed Commander of the first Fire Nation Armored Division by Sozin at age 18, and commanded these tanks during Sozin's assault on the Southern Air Temple, Kuzon could not tolerate his brother's plan to completely destroy the Air Nomad race. When he discovered what Sozin planned to do, Kuzon freed several Air Nomads from their cells in the camp. He was promptly discovered by Sozin, and barely escaped the battle with his life. Branded a traitor by his home country, Kuzon had nowhere to go but the community of refugee airbenders. He joined a group of airbenders who chose to covertly fight the Fire Nation and assist the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe forces. Though he was once captured and brought back to the Fire Nation to face execution, he escaped with the help of his airbender compatriotsTaro and Kunchen, and spent the rest of his life helping to stem the tide of Fire Nation onslaught.

Hey, great explanation, but you forget to add the Timer.start at the Form_Load
