hi awais_syed,

Creating Splash Screen is easy in VB.Net. All you need to do is this
- from your project, click Project menu
- choose Add Windows Form
- in the Add New Item, click Splash Screen, and give it a name, then click Add

then you can manipulate your splash screen form like any other form in VB.Net
