How to create a Splash Screen with Progress Bar in C#

Open your Visual Studio, then click New Project, then select Visual C# on the left, then Windows and then select Windows Forms Application. Name your project "SplashScreen" and then click OK button.

Add a new form to your project, then design the splash screen form as you like.

Next, Add a background image, logo, or any other visual elements you want to display during the loading process.

Finally, Add a ProgressBar control to your splash screen form. You can design your splash screen as shown below.

Open Program.cs in your project, then change the startup form to your splash screen form.

using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace SplashScreen
{
    public partial class frmMain : Form
    {
        public frmMain()
        {
            //Create new thread to run the splash screen
            Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartForm));
            t.Start();
            Thread.Sleep(5000);//Only for demo
            InitializeComponent();
            t.Abort();
        }

        public void StartForm()
        {
            Application.Run(new frmSplashScreen());
        }
    }
}
