When the user opens a winforms application I'd like to create a pop-up with a logo that disappears after say 10 seconds. Think of this pop-up like an advertisement for branding purposes. Is this possible?

Hello Derek,

Just add some more information apart from Sheng. In VB.Net, it is very easy to add a splash screen.

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback, please tell us.

The .NET framework already has good support for splash screens, avoid coding your own. They are tricky to get right. Check this thread for the required C# code.
