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

Simply don't create a window, just delete the StartupUri from App.xaml.

It might be helpful to set the Application to ShutDownMode="OnExplicitShutdown" this will prevent that your application shuts down if your last window was closed.
