Winform did not show the icon in the taskbar

Question

I have two programs A and B, when something happened I use the process.start() in A to launch B. after the B was successfully launched the icon of B did not show in the windows taskbar. But when I click on the window of B, the icon of B will show in the windows taskbar. I Can't figure out the reason.

Here is my code snippet

    private void StartProcess()
    {
        string appName = Application.StartupPath + @"\AppB.exe";

        ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo()
        {
            FileName = appName,
        };

        Process process = Process.Start(psi);

    }

Answer 1

if B is your coded program then set application icon in Installer. After installation that icon will be displayed in task bar on every launch.

Answer 2

try this

ShowInTaskBar = true;

and you have to use NotifyIcon
