Is it possible to hide the command prompt?

[delahappy]

I have this application that I wrote in C# that creates a report about issues on my network. I want this application to run all the time (it has a built in timer as to when to refresh the report) but I don't want the cmd window to be up all the time. Is there some way that I can hide that window while the program runs?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Why don't you write yourself a service ? It's really easy with .NET : there's loads of articles out there and some pretty useful MSDN pages too.

If you've got DevStudio Professional there's a wizard to create one too.

Have a look here :

I am not sure f this helps, but I usually use the following command to hide a process:


Process prc;
prc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

What would i have to include as a "using" to use that code?

using System.Diagnostic;

hope it helps!
