Completely hide WPF window on startup?

Question

I want that my window is completely hidden on the startup. No window, no entry in the taskbar. The user doesn\'t see, the application is started.

How can I realize that?

Answer 1

Don't show the window. By default there is a StartupUri defined in the App.xaml, remove it and override the OnStartup method in the code-behind to create a window, just Show and Hide it as you wish.
