Re: Splash Screen - My Nemesis

Perhaps this is all related to the issue of subscribing to your own events
(i.e. "Load") instead of overriding the method (i.e. "OnLoad"):

After having looked at Brady's code again, it's probably that an exception
thrown in Load doesn't (always) propagate to the method that called the
Form's "Show" method. Is this the issue you've all experienced, or is there
anything else as well?
