Could anyone point me in the direction or give me some info with
regards to creating a C# program that just runs as a process. For
example in task manager, you would see it in the processes tab, but
not in the Applications tab.

Thanks in advance

Don't create a window (form).
 
Sounds like you want to create a Windows service. In the full version of
VS.NET there is a project type for this. Services are easy to author, but
kind of gnarly to create the install. I have to read back up on it every
time I do it. Fortunately once the service is initially installed you can
update it by stopping the service, copying new EXE and/or DLL(s) into place,
and restarting the service.
