In my Windows Form Application, I want to apply a form which will be the first form having the software name and other brief information. When the user will run the application, that form will be started first, then after a few seconds that form will be hidden automatically and the homepage will be started. I don't know how to do this?
Please someone help.

Hi Md Mashkoor Ahmad,

place the timer control and the below sample code is for you, look it and implement.

C#

private void MainFrm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);

        timer1.Enabled = true;
        timer1.Interval = 4000;
        timer1.Start();

    }

    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        timer1.Stop();
        this.Hide();
        HomeFrm f = new HomeFrm();
        f.ShowDialog();
    }

Thanks,
SP
