"Please Wait" window in VB.NET??

I have Googled and Googled, but I only find explanations of this for ASP.NET, etc. How do you put up a 'please wait' window at the beginning of a process and close it at the end of the process in a regular non-web VB.NET application? Seems like there should be a straightforward way to do this...

Thanks,
Chandler

Open ANY window then close it.
OR
Show ANY control (I like Label or GroupBox) then hide it when done.

Alternatively, you coulda google "splash screens" in .NET and got something.


This really should not be a brain bender?

Yeah I guess I overthought that one.

Thanks...
