Question

I’m using Caliburn Micro v1.3 with WPF. I would like to display a splash screen while my app loads.

I have overriden OnStartup as below but can’t see how to close my splash when the base.OnStartup complete

    protected override void OnStartup(object sender, System.Windows.StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        var wm = new WindowManager();
        var vm = new StatusReporterViewModel("TEST", "information", null);

        try
        {
            wm.ShowWindow(vm);

            base.OnStartup(sender, e);

        }
        finally            
        {
            vm.TryClose();
        }

    }

Any ideas?

Cheers

Steve

If you want to use the default WPF splash mechanism then it requires no code.

Add an image file to your WPF .EXE project and then set the properties on the image to “SplashScreen”
