For the first run of my application, the configuration dialog
needs to be displayed. I have tried loading the config dialog
in the form load, but the form is not loaded yet. What is the
easiest way to display the config dialog?

Something like this?

static void Main()
{

MyFormDialog dialog = new MyFormDialog(); /// inherits from form.
Application.Run(dialog); /// this line will exit when the dialog is closed

Form1 f1 = new Form1();
//// do stuff with dialog settings - im just making this up......
f1.InitializeFromDialogSettings(dialog);
Application.Run(f1);

}

Sorry I read that incorrectly. You want the dialog afterwards, not before.

Call:

this.Show();

in the Load event before you show the dialog. Show is only called after load
as default.
