Re: how to disable splash screen Somewhere along the line, I was playing around it to handle users such as yourself. But we have so many different application-specific profiles and DWG files, desktop-shortcuts became the rule (opening one type of DWG with another application can be incredibly destructive). Where do I find the.png file of the presentation screen in photoshop cc 2018? Yesterday (yes, I realized thanks to a tutorial on YouTube) that could be changed, I used ' Restaurator ' I went to the file: PSArt.dll, but the png files no longer appeared, can anyone help me?

I have a .Net Winform application which will take some time to load.

I want to create a Splash Screen which will start when I click on my Application and closes when my Application opens up.Basically through Splash Screen I want to moniter the initialization process of my Application

Splash Screen should be a different winform and should run in separate Thread.

I want to have a button called 'Stop waiting' in Splash screen where user can click on it to cancel opening of the Application and I should be able to shutdown the Application.

Also in the Splash screen I need to show the progress of Initialization of Application. Lego star wars the clone wars ships.

I have very limited knowledge on Splash Screen.Can you please give me few examples to proceed with my requirement?

One more Question after implementing Splash Screen:My Application Initialization happens in different projects so I have created a seperate exe for Splash Screen and using it in different projects of main Screen.Is it good practice to add splash screen(exe) as reference in Main screen and use methods in Splash Screen?

Thanks in Advance for your help.

That's a lot of questions, I'll answer the 'how to create a splash screen' and then you can try further with cancelling and showing initialization progress.

You basically create another form which acts as the Splash form.

Set the properties:

• StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
• MaximizeBox = false
• FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
• And load a BackgroundImage if you want

Then in Main before you show your Main Window create the splash screen, show it and pass a reference to the main window object

And inside MainWindowLoad_Load function of you main window:

because the splash screen is about the look and feel, i would suggest that you let the UI thread handle it, and take your code into another thread of execution otherwise changing anything in the display of the splash screen requires BeginInvoke. therefore
this is my way of doing it :

note that you need to make your ProgressBar Control's modifiers public,in order to let your backgroundworker change its percentage.

I just installed SSMS 18 GA on a computer with only VS2019 installed, and when I try to open SSMS the splash screen will come up, but then the process exits.

Running ssms with the -log parameter reveals an error message:

I tried running 'Repair' on SSMS, and tried a repair of C:ProgramDataPackage Cache{AAA9F15B-AF45-4562-9991-93A848D3A902}v15.0.28307.421redistvs2017_isoshell_for_ssms.msi, but the problem persists.

I just overlaid the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDEPublicAssemblies with the copy from .PrivateAssembliesInterop and the IDE opens. (Thanks to Mitch for discovering the offending DLL name.)

This looks like a popular Q & A today, so I'm glad to know this wasn't just me.

As Ronan Ariely reccomends, an official solution has been published which recommends removing a line from ssms.exe.config.

In C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDESsms.exe.config:

If you ran my previous solution of adding the assembly to the GAC, you should probably uninstall it by running:

Paul White♦MitchMitch

This is known issue and there is new official workaround which published by the SSMS developers team.

You can view the open ticket at Microsoft feedback system in the following link:https://feedback.azure.com/forums/908035-sql-server/suggestions/37502512-ssms2018-installed-but-will-not-run

Short history:

The first workaround which was presented was to copy the file: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll

from the directory: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDEPrivateAssembliesInterop

into the directory: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDEPublicAssemblies

Later, a more focused solution was published (which is what I used): Simply remove the file C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDECommonExtensionsPlatformMicrosoft.VisualStudio.MinShell.Interop.pkgdef

Anyhow, several days ago the team publish an update as you can see in the link above. This is a quote from the official updated response:

The recommended workaround, in the interim, is:

1) Close all instances of SSMS

2) Edit ssms.exe.config

3) Remove the line that has the following text (should be line 38): NgenBind_OptimizeNonGac enabled=“1”

That’s the same change that will be in the next release of SSMS 18.x

Note! the location of ssms.exe.config file is in the folder: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDE

I have just crossed the same issue on a freshly built Server 2016 with SQL Server 2017 & SSMS 18.0, however it went away after 2 reboots during which the server was fully patched with March 2019 O/S patches. I'll try to do some more testing to figure out if it was really the O/S patches helping this, but I am unaware of anything else installing in the meantime on that server.

It seems more random after reboots, but what I have noticed now is that SSMS works right after installing, but then SCCM in my org starts installing various things and SSMS stops working. Now the suspect is '.NET Framework 3.5 Server Feature 2016'

Paul White♦

There is another solution to this problem. On the Azure Feedback item SQL Server Management Studio 18 GA (15.0.18118.0) not compatible with .NET Framework 4.8 Erich Signer suggests:

Step 1:

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18Common7IDECommonExtensionsPlatformMicrosoft.VisualStudio.MinShell.Interop.pkgdef

Rename and make sure this file does not have the .pkgdef extension anymore. Or remove the file.

Step 2:

Remove the following Registry Key (which is created at SSMS 18 Startup using the '.pkgdef' file mentioned above):

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio18.0_IsoShell_ConfigRuntimeConfigurationdependentAssemblybindingRedirection{8BC7AF31-B6DA-4B97-8B36-F0500DECB147}
