But here is what I would like to achieve(to make it a background process):

Answer 1

Honestly I do not think this is possible using normal development methods. I mean it's a form, it cant run in the background because it has a user interface. Why do you think you need to run a form in the background anyway?

Just spit balling here: Maybe you can implement just the actions you need in a Background process thread that is created in the form, then close the form. If the form runs in its own thread, perhaps you need to set the priority on the thread lower.
