copied!<p>I have 3 forms - the main form is Form1 the others are a splash form and then a login screen. Splash screen displays first and populates servers. Then, the frmAppLogin is shown, user enters a hardcoded password and result returns to form1.</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>public Form1() { _assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Stream icon = _assembly.GetManifestResourceStream..... this.Icon = new Icon(icon); Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(SplashScreen)); t.Start(); InitializeComponent(); PopulateServers(); //Thread.Sleep(800); Form frmLogin1 = new frmAppLogin(); t.Abort(); frmLogin1.ShowDialog(); DialogResult res = new DialogResult(); res = frmLogin1.DialogResult; if (res == DialogResult.OK) { _LoggedIn = true; } else { _LoggedIn = false; } } </code></pre> <p>This is the code for form1_load:</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (_LoggedIn) { try { blah blah........ } catch { MessageBox.Show("Error accessing resources!"); } } else { this.Close(); } } </code></pre> <p>And the code for the Login form:</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>public frmAppLogin() { InitializeComponent(); this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; } private void btnAppLogin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (txtAppPass.Text.ToString() == requiredPass) { this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK; this.Close(); } else { txtAppPass.Clear(); txtAppPass.Focus(); MessageBox.Show("Incorrect Password"); } } </code></pre> <p>Problem is when the splash screen disappears, the log in form pops up for a split second but immediately minimizes to the taskbar. </p> <p>Startposition is set to CenterScreen and WindowState Normal via GUI.</p> <p>Also this only happens when I run the application.exe in (or copy it from) the debug folder, I.E. it does not happen when I debug in Visual Studio 2010.</p> <p>Edit: Just to add this in, I have also tried:</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code> private void frmAppLogin_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; } </code></pre> <p>Which didn't help.</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
