How to run the C# splash screen.

After studying the article by Tom Clement "A Pretty Good Splash Screen in C#".
I downloaded the code demo.
From my IDE I can't run the demo without an error saying that I need to add
a non-library project to this solution, and if I bulid it, it creates a .dll
in the dgug folder.
I've tried figuring it out myself and would like to know what I have to do
to run the splash screen.
Do I call it form another App? Or use the .dll ?

Help!

Hi,

You need a win app , this win app will make use of the DLL you downloaded.

In the article ( I haven't seen it) should explain this.

cheers,

Okay, thanks.
No, it didn't explain.
