Put it into the Main method of Program.cs.

You can show a winform or dialog in the Main method before you run your main application. This allows the user to enter some data and you can then act on that before running your main form.

I have an application that can start in one of two ways. I display a selector window from Main. The user selects from the options and I collect that when the selector form closes.

I then start my main form taking account of that. This would also allow you to start different forms depending on the user input if you wish

Write your code in program.cs or in constructor of form
