How can I create an animated splash screen like the one in Office 2010 using C#?
if you want to make a dynamic animated splash screen like Office 2010 , i recommend you to use WPF and never think about WinForms to make dynamic animation with code !
but if you are determined of using WinForms you have to be tricky , and use one of this tricks :
• put a Flash ActiveX Object , and make your animation with Flash then link them together
• if you are good with WPF and Silverlight you can make your animation with Silverlight and view it in a WebBrowser Control , You may also use Flash or HTML5
