I'm still finding my way around this MM.Net framework and I'm trying to create a splash screen that will display for a couple of seconds when the app starts up. I would like to use app.config to store some values like the App name, version number and company name. Problem is, It appears that the AppSettingsMgr is not instantiated in time to use it before the mainform comes up. Where is the best place to launch my splash screen and where is the best place to store the settings?

Thanks all
