Execute code before splash screen

I have a VB.NET application with Enable application framework checked, and Splash screen set. At the same time, I need to run some code before the splash screen is loaded. MyApplication_Startup seems to go later, so it's not suitable. I understand it's possible with custom splash screen, but would prefer any other way to make it without more complex customization.

EDIT: Apparently, the issue is different. Code that runs before the splash-screen is thread-specific. It doesn't take proper effect, since splash screen is on another thread.

Under project properties click View Application Events. Then read the comment: ' The following events are available for MyApplication: ' ' Startup: Raised when the application starts, before the startup form is created. ' Shutdown: Raised after all application forms are closed. This event is not raised if the application terminates abnormally. ' UnhandledException: Raised if the application encounters an unhandled exception. ' StartupNextInstance: Raised when launching a single-instance application and the application is already active. ' NetworkAvailabilityChanged: Raised when the network connection is connected or disconnected.

I don't know if oyu have been through this yet.

Have you stepped through your code using the F8 key? The debugger can show you where you can add code before your splash screen is shown.
