C# Application.Run without Form

Is it possible to call Application.Run, but to not pass a form parameter, or is there an alternative if there’s no form to call?

The Run method doesn’t seem to have any overloads that don’t accept a form.

For example, if I wanted to instantiate a class first, and then have that call the form, is there way to do the equivalent of:

Application.Run(myClass);

Just to clarify, I do still want the functionality that .Run() provides. That is, establish a loop to keep the application running, but instead of tracking a form, track a class or other object.

This is relating to the compact framework initially. I assume that's why the Run method doesn't have the overload I was looking for.
