Main.cs is the main core form of the application. When the user clicks the Process button, I give the user some output options in a new form:
Options optionsForm = new Options;
optionsForm.ShowDialog();

On the options form, the user selects different processing options then clicks a "Go" button which displays the Processing form:

PleaseWait pleasewaitForm = new PleaseWait();
pleasewaitForm.ShowDialog();

On processingForm load, I start the background worker. On background worker complete, I want to close the please wait form and display a "Work complete" form. I know the background worker is doing its job but it is never closing the Please Wait form. Let me know if you need more details, do you have any ideas?

Still working on this issue... anyone have any other suggestions?

No, this does not refer to the main form. This is how I have it set up: User clicks "Process" on main form which shows PleaseWait.cs form. The onLoad event on the PleaseWait.cs form kicks off the backgroundworker. On backgroundworker complete, I want to close PleaseWait.cs and show Complete.cs form. All the while, Main.cs remains open in the background. Let me know if I explained this well. Thanks again for helping me out.

private void backWorker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate{ProcessComplete();});
}

private void ProcessComplete()
{
this.Close();
ProcessCompleteForm pf = new ProcessCompleteForm();
pf.Show();
}

Here is my code so you can see exactly what I am doing...

private void backWorker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate{ProcessComplete();});
}

private void ProcessComplete()
{
this.Close();
ProcessCompleteForm pf = new ProcessCompleteForm();
pf.Show();
}

Hmmm, still not working. Ultimately, when the background worker completes, I want to close the please wait form and open a form that says "process done." That being said, should I use the invoke within the background worker complete event?

Well, unfortunately, it did not solve the problem... but maybe I didn't implement it correctly. This is where I stand: My background worker successfully completes (I confirmed this in debugging.) The background worker complete calls my ProcessComplete(). Within ProcessComplete() is:
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate(){ this.Close(); });

Espen,
No, I am not, but that explanation makes a lot of sense. I thought that by using the background worker events that this was handled for me... but I guess that was a bad assumption. I am surprised it didn't throw an error if that is the case. I'll implement this on all of the background worker events that interact with the gui thread and let you know if it works. I appreciate the advice, I feel silly for not thinking of this. Thanks.

Good idea. What is the best way to pass each status update to the splash screen?

And here is my code, just so you see exactly what I am doing:

try
{
myWebService.DoStuff ws = new myWebService.DoStuff();
IWebProxy proxy = HttpWebRequest.DefaultWebProxy;
proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
ws.Proxy = proxy;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//log error
AppFunctions.Errors err = new AppFunctions.Errors();
err.logError(ex.Message.ToString());
}

Dylan,
Ok, that explanation makes sense.

Yes: I did make the changes, reposted to the clickonce location, and verified that the user successfully installed the new version (-the app is set-up to check for new versions upon startup.)
