Re: Splash Screen - My Nemesis

If I recall from memory, when calling show or showdialog on an instance of a
form, any exceptions thrown inside the load event handler for that form do
not bubble back up to the calling code.

Can you give a little more information on that? Is this about
Application.ThreadException, AppDomain.UnhandledException, or general
try/catch blocks?

Ideally, I'd like to see a code sample of a case where exception
handling doesn't play well with Load, I'm quite interested in that.
