Running in the taskbar

[phreaky]

How can I make that the Windows Application Form that I created in my project runs in my taskbar instead of running minimized?

You need to put a NotifyIcon componenet from the toolbar on your
form. I'm sure that you'll find information in your MSDN about it.

Well, thanks, I checked and as I read it says that I would have to create a Windows Service instead of Windows Application, because I want something to run in the background with only a notification for the user that the application is running by an icon in the taskbar, anyway, I haven't investigated but I hope that NotifyIcons can be used with Windows Services Application also.

Well, you don't need a form. You may be able to remove the form
and simply use a class that contains a NotifyIcon defined in code.
I'm not sure though; I rarely use formless Windows applications.
