Winform not visible while debugging

I have an application that manipulates with some files in certain matter and have progressbar and textbox. When I debug (VS2010), the app window is not visible, but the app does all the work that it suppose to. If I wanted to create invisible winform application I would probably have to bust my brains out to do so. Now I have one I don't want. How about that? Any ideas how to fix this?

The OP is performing work in the form's initialization phase. During that phase, the form is not yet shown and will not be shown untill all the work is done.

The solution is to move the work code from the form's initialize method to a separate method, that is called only after the form is shown. This method should perform the work on a separate thread to ensure the GUI stays repsonsive, the process can be cancelled and reports back to update the progress bar.
