Well your splash screen was probably done on a form right? Well you can import that form into the other project and the code that goes along with it. Anything that was in your splash screen project, but not on the form, used to present the splash screen would have to be rewritten but the form itself and its controls, along with all events in that form's class can simply be imported.

Open your splash screen project folder in windows explorer, find the splash screen form file. Copy it to the folder where you have your other project.

Go to your application, right click the solution name in the solution explorer window and choose "Add" >> "Existing Item" and then browse to the folder that holds your project. Find the form file you just copied over and click the "Add" button.

Your form is now part of your project.

Ok Open up your app project(not your splash). Now go to the solution explorer on the right top corner and right click and add another form. So now you should have form2 design. Make that your splash. Now add a timer to your form1. In the timer properties adjust the interval to how many seconds you want it to stay up. (1000 = 1 sec,2000 = 2 sec and so ).Also in the Timer1 properties change enabled to true.

Now in your form1 load sub type:

Timer1.enabled = true

form2.show()

In your Timer1_tick sub type:

  
form2.close()
Timer1.enabled = false

i got the app's linked and got the splash screen to come up first and dissappear after 3 secs like i want

only prob is the main app(not the splash) loads a split sec after the splash and covers it

i guess my quess is how do i make the main app load 3 seconds after i click debug(after the splash screen dissappears)
