Application load latency

Question

I have been writing a vb.net application and it seems the bigger it gets when io go to run it the application is a little blotching and looks very ugly till the whole application has loaded.

Is there any way to have the application load and show itself once its fully loaded. I need some ideas on how i can make the application flawless. I do have a 3 items load on start up and that's checking the local domain. Checking files on a remote server and then hiding some buttons depending on what Os the local machine has.

Thanks for you time and your ideas.

This is where you should be farming out the long running work to background threads. Google for "BackgroundWorker examples".

Why Don't you try Full window splash screen with a message while loading the application in the back end? This might not be a solution But Just an idea not to show what is happening while Loading?

That sounds like a good idea. Would you have any information on that for vb.net
