You have to start it somewhere. – Hemal Feb 10 '16 at 05:03

Either in startup, with batch file, as a service or something like that – Hemal Feb 10 '16 at 05:03

Try this...
WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
In the Main window(Main.cs) , so the app starts with minimized windows state, this can also be set in the properties windows of the main window, set value Minimized for the property WindowState also add
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
to avoid being shown in task bar

Your app won't work if you don't launch you form. If you want to hide the form, just use the method Form.Hide(). Besides, this page might be helpful.

Form1 Obj = new Form1
You can use
Obj.Hide()
or you can write in Form1 constructor
this.visible = false

You can hide the form and still have your app running in background.
You can set
opacityto 0 andShowInTaskbartofalseand still running your app in background.
