I have searched google for this and read some resources but I wasn't able to find a good answer. Does anyone know how to prevent the winform App window from opening when it is started by the task scheduler?

1Setting your main form's `Visible` to `false` should do the trick – sallushan Jun 13 '14 at 15:13

@sallushan I believe OP wants to know if app was started by Task Scheduler or user. – 001 Jun 13 '14 at 15:19

Odd question, most programmers want to know how to make it *visible*. The task scheduler runs programs using its own desktop by default. Have you actually tried this or do you just assume it is going to be a problem? – Hans Passant Jun 13 '14 at 15:19

You can hide the form in the Shown event like this:
this.Shown += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Shown);
private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Hide();
}

Try using command line arguments:
static class Program {
[STAThread]
static void Main() {
if (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Contains(@"/fromTask")) {
// run something else...
} else {
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}
}
When you schedule your program in the Task Scheduler, be sure to include the argument /fromTask.

@facebook-100002276297329 Your question didn't seem to be about *how* to use the Task Scheduler. – LarsTech Jun 14 '14 at 02:11
