How to keep the program running but minimized in tray?

26
Hi guys.. I created a program and I want to hide the main form in the tray but the entire program should be running (program should not appear in taskbar). Do you know how to do it? Thanks.

In form load event you could add this...
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. this.Hide(); this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
  3.  
In case your program does not require any user interaction and runs continously in background then windows service would be better choice..

Uhm, I'm not quite familiar with windows service, but is it like creating already the setup for the application and install it on the server?
