Cancelling Form.Load event

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I load some data from the database during the forms load event. If this load
fails, then I need to bring up the error message and abort loading the form.

How do I do this in .NET 2.0? There doesn't seem to be a way of cancelling
the forms construction from within the load event. Also if an error occurs I
don't want a blank form displayed under the error message that then vanishes
after the user clicks OK.

Any help much appreciated...
