Your requirement does not sound convincing. Why would any user want that the form he is entering data into is switched to another form. I absolutely abhor when programs do stuff like that.
Pleas feel free to explain why you would want to do this.

i thought am precise in my question ,think so you need full explanation.my first form contains only
picture of my application,which means when my application run it show sum picture of my application and certain time it should switch to next form where my actual login of my application starts up.

What you call a form has a name in the real world. The feature you are seeking is a so called splash screen.

Besides that: Being precise is definitely not one of your strong points. You didn't even pose a question. Please do better next time.

You'll probably find this page interesting for displaying a splash screen: http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.visualbasic.applicationservices.windowsformsapplicationbase.splashscreen.aspx[^].

By the way, the simple answer is using timer with Dispatcher.Invoke/BeginInvoke, which is not the most trivial.
Please see my solution.

Nice link, (automagic translation from german to english saves the day :) ) - 5ed!

Use one of the times. In the timer callback or do the following:

C#

int myDeltaX = //...
int myDeltaY = //...
//...
Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action<Window, int, int>((window, deltaX, deltaY) => {
    window.Left += deltaX;
    window.Top += deltaY;
}), this, myDeltaX, myDeltaY);

You can also use BeginInvoke, not big difference in this particular case.
