I could close the splash screen from the app's Main() right before I launch the main form, but I would rather close the splash screen (with a nice fading effect) from the main form's layout event (this way the splash is fading away immediately after the main form is displayed). This looks very nice when built in VS2003.

Einar,

You didn't post the code that throws the error so all I can say is that you have to use a delegate to handle a raised event in another thread.
