hide a form before it is shown on startup

[wey97]

I don't want the form to be shown at all on startup. The form can be hidden on another event on the form like a button click but that won't do.

On Form1_Load this.Visible = false; or this.Hide(); won't hide the form.

I even tried this:

static void Main() 
{
	Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
	frm1.Visible = false;
	Application.Run(frm1);
}

and the form still shows...

is there any way to do this?

Didn't realize Application.Run() was overloaded...

static void Main() 
{
	Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
	Application.Run();
}
