C# winforms startup (Splash) form not hiding

Question

I have a winforms application in which I am using 2 Forms to display all the necessary controls. The first Form is a splash screen in which it tells the user that it it load

Answer 1

This is crucial to prevent your splash screen from stealing your focus and pushing your main form to the background after it closes:

protected override bool ShowWithoutActivation {
    get { return true; }
}

Add this to you splash form class.
