Answer 1

Just to add to this answer, I ran into an issue with our splash screen form. We had code like this:

SplashScreen.Initialize(this, SplashScreenImage);
SplashScreen.Show();

// Db init, log init etc.

... Further in our app ...

Application.Run(new MainWindowForm());

The in Initialize(this, SplashScreenImage); we updated some controls and then we ran refresh on those controls;

public void Initialize(this, SplashScreenImage)
{
   ...

   lblVersion.Text = GetVersionString();
   lblEnv.Text = GetEnvironmentString();

   // Refresh (does not work)
   lblVersion.Refresh()
   lblEnv.Refresh()
}

Unfortunately, this does not work. The problem here was that although we call control.Refresh() explicitly, form.show() was called after we called control.refresh. This does not work.

The fix was simple:

SplashScreen.Show(); // First call show
SplashScreen.Initialize(this, SplashScreenImage); // Now contorl.Refresh() works
