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 );
