Question

in my code i need to run notification control without showing any form how can i do it? i just add this code to program.cs main thread but it’s not working please help me with this?

        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run();
        TaskbarIcon tb = new TaskbarIcon();
        var balloon = new Warning();
        tb.ShowCustomBalloon(balloon, PopupAnimation.Fade, 12000);

warning is a user control

I would recommend calling Application.Run() with an instance of ApplicationContext as parameter:

class Kernel : ApplicationContext
{
    private TaskbarIcon tb = new TaskbarIcon();

    public void Show()
    {
        var ballon = new Warning();
        tb.ShowCustomBalloon(balloon, PopupAnimation.Fade, 12000);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Closes the application.
    /// </summary>
    public void Close()
    {
        Application.Exit();
    }
}

Programm.cs:

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

using(var kernel = new Kernel())
{
    Application.Run(kernel);
}

This way it works with the default .NET NotifyIcon.
