How do I create a standalone executable

Hello all,

This might seem like an odd question but I would like to know how to
create a standalone executable. I'm using vs.net 2005 and the closest
project template I can find for what I want is a console application.
The console application is not what I want as I don't want a command
prompt opening up. I just want a plain executable that I can run from
a SQL Server 2000 DTS package using the Execute Process Task. Can
anyone tell me how to do this?

It's possible to create a Windows Forms application that never shows its
window. It can still accept parameters from the command line.
