Bacon is so good by itself that to put it in any other food is an admission of failure. You're basically saying, "I can't make this other food taste good, so I'll throw in bacon."
I have a MDI form that is maximised by default,
I created a Splash Screen using the VB.NET template but it doesn't show.
Flashes up for a second then the parent window takes focus.
Properties
isMdiContainer - TRUE
WindowState - MAXIMIZED
For the Splash Screen to stay showing you need to change the TopMost Property to TRUE.
