Yes, try this:

    Form form = new Form();
    form.ShowInTaskbar = false;
    ShowWindow( form.Handle, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE );

And you will need the following definitions:

    using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
    private const int SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 0x04;
    [DllImport ("user32.dll")]
    private static extern bool ShowWindow( IntPtr hWnd, int flags );
