Hide a C# GUI Form

Despite the irony of this question, how could you accomplish hiding a form, or even better running the complete application silently?

Set its WindowState to Minimized.

You can also hide it from the Taksbar by setting ShowInTaskbar=false;

With these two properties, you can fully control the display of your form, depending on your own requirements.

If you don't your form to be shown, don't call .Show() on your form from Main().

To run an application silently make it a window's service rather than winforms app

Is there any reason you need to use a form? Why not make it a console application? If you need both scenarios, both UI and "silent," you can put the common functionality in a separate, class library project, compile it, and reference the DLL in both a winforms project and a console project.
