How to get rid of command line window when starting IISExpress?

Is there a chance to get rid of command line window when starting IISExpress (iisexpress.exe)? In the thread Use IIS Express in visual studio 2010 witho开发者_如何转开发ut sp1 and command window is determined, that it is not possible with a parameter of iisexpress.exe itself.

Are there any tricks with batch scripting or something like that?

I want to start IISExpress with a .bat file, but then the command windows should hide itself (because stopping the server is also possible with the tray icon).

Using PowerShell:

Start-Process .\iisexpress.exe -WindowStyle Hidden

Meanwhile I found a few ways to solve this. One way is a Windows Script, see Duncan Smart's Weblob or directly his GIT-Repository.

Another way is to build a Windows Form Application (or similar), and use the ProcessStartInfo class, which offers the ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden property.

What I did at last: I dropped IIS Express and switched to CassiniDev. It is a great webserver (amongst others available as console application and DLL-assembly) which allowed me to build be "self-hosted" website by importing a single DLL.
