How do you create a formless program? I have a project now that has a button to fire off an event. Is there away when you run the project to fire the button click event when you run the project?

If you just want to use what you have (a form) then on the form load event simply call the routine that you want to execute. LS
How would I have it fire that cmdButton from the Form_Load? Also how would I allow switches from the command line. For example I would like a /r to fire the command button without user interaction and if they run it without /r it will bring up the form.

I think you are only using the button to start the process right? If so the code you run on the button click is the code you run on the load of the application. Now if you want to be able to use a windows form for this and control it with commandline switches , you can get the command line switches from System.Environment.CommandLine. Take all the code from the button click event and put it into a subroutine. Then in the button click event call the subroutine. If when you parse the commandline parameters and you see your combination to auto-click , just call your subroutine. LS
