I want my application (written in c#) which needs to run on Windows 7 and show an icon in the notification area. The default is "only show notification" I my icon to be shown by default. looking for the api in c# or to wite a script for this.
If there's no direct way to do this is there any overriding way?
I believe it is by design the Windows 7 doesnt let you do this programmatically.
Could you not do something on the main TaskBar using the Windows API Code Pack?

I am developing a win store application, user can launch other file/application from my application. At that point, I want to keep my application in front of user in the "snap view"
For Windows 8.0, there wasn't a way to control this. In Windows 8.1, the Windows.System.Launcher API--namely the LaunchFileAsync and LaunchUriAsync methods that take a LauncherOptions argument--added support for the LauncherOptions.DesiredRemainingView property. This gives you the kind of control you're looking for here--in your scenario you'd want to use the value ViewSizePreference.UseMinimum in the DesiredRemainingView property.
I've seen several post regarding custom 'task' being added to WPF applications but I haven't found a compatible way to do this in Windows Forms.
Note: I'm not referring to the system notification tray.
For example, if you right click Google Chrome icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar you'll see a menu like this:
I want to do the same thing in a C# Windows Forms Application. Is it possible or does it have to be in WPF?
I just came late to the party. There is a feature called 'Jumplists' which would helps you to add a new taskbar feature on right clicking the application icon: Go through the tutorial

I have a c# application and have thought it could be fancy that it displayed current time. So I used form.text property of my main form and put the time into it (picture A)
Unfortunately when I point to the application icon in taskbar in Windows 7 it shows my time where it should show application name (picture B)
Is it possible to have some text on main form top bar and still display different text in Windows taskbar?
In .NET 4 the TaskbarItemInfo class was introduced. Unfortunately it does not directly support changing the application title show in the taskbar.
However, you might be able to achieve this using the Windows API Code Pack library. Yochay Kiriaty wrote an article called Developing for the Windows 7 Taskbar – Application ID which shows an example of what you might be trying to achieve.
I have a Windows Mobile application developed with Visual Studio 2010 and C# (Smart Device Project). When I run the application there's a start menu bar visible on the top and keyboard bar on the bottom. How can I make my application run in full-screen mode?
If possible I would like to have a solution that will allow me to turn full-screen mode on and off on runtime (after clicking some form button for example).
(Assuming the question is about Windows Mobile and not Windows Phone.)
On Windows Mobile if you want to hide parts of Windows that normally can't be hidden, you have to hide them with P/Invoke. There are plenty of questions like this already answered and some other resources too. And of course you can call the P/Invoke from an event handler.
