Display form before main form

[googlinggoogler]

Hi,

I would like to display a form (to add registration information) before
the main form loads obviously I would like to place this inside an IF
statement as I dont need to register every single time the program is
started.

I do not want the main form to be seen prior to sucessfu completion of
the registration form.

Can anyone suggest a method to do this? and can anyone tell me what I
need to look for on google to find the relevant information?

I believe its called a splash screen, but havent been able to find out
how to do this with VB.net

Yours gratefully

David

Change your startup to a sub main. Then make a module and in it put sub
main.

Sub Main()
dim Splash as new SplashScreen
if Splash.ShowDialog = DialogResult.Ok then
dim Main as new MainScreen
Main.Showdialog
end if
end sub

End Sub

For the code for the book.

BTW, where do you download the other promised books, on VC# and VWebDev ?
