title: Loading..Please wait splash screen has blank picture box in C#
body: <p>I am new to splash screen , however I am trying to load data onto datagrid from database and it takes around 30 sec so I was thinking to put a "Loading ....Please wait" splash screen with progress bar. I tried Jacques Bourgeois (James Burger)'s advice on this <a href="http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/C_Sharp/Q_28264050.html" rel="nofollow">link</a>> 
  I tried</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>splashScreen.Show();<br>
        // Do your stuff - No need to start another thread. The form is visible on     the screen, and since<br>
        // Show is asynchrone (not blocking), the code between the Show and the Close runs while the form is displayed.<br>
    splashScreen.Close();</p>

  <p>I have used a picture box and a progress bar , the splash screen loads fine and closes fine but the splash screen is blank. I googled I saw use of background, I dont know how to use it so thought to use above simple code  So what am I doing wrong here.
  However I have set property as</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Show in taskbar = False</p>
  </blockquote>
