How to create a Loading Data splash screen in C# windows Forms Application?
<p>i have an C# Windows Forms application project.and there's a form with a datagridview and a button.when user click on the button
a huge amount of data will be loaded to   datagridview that takes time. i want to show a simple animated gif
image like "Loading Data" while data is loading, on the center of screen.like this 
<a href="http://webpagebynumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Red-014-loading.gif" rel="nofollow">http://webpagebynumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Red-014-loading.gif</a>
which will be still animated while data is leading and close after data loading finishes .if you have used "Nero" or Acrobat reader there's something like what i want when those applications start. and even a slight transparent shadow under the animated screen and even the speed of rotation depend on how fast the process is.how can I do that?</p>
