c# run application without a dos/form window

Question

Anyone knows a way to run a c# application without a window popping up(either form or dos window) or having it at the task bar as an application . I want it to be seen at processes tab at task manager or at the system icons(at the right of the task bar).

You may want to create system tray application. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/995195/writing-a-windows-system-tray-application-with-net — Adam, May 14 '12 at 13:19
