I work for a contracting company in a contract-to-hire position where I have almost no contact with the contracting company- I send them time cards, and they send me checks. Today I was offered a position at the client company which I accepted, and I gave the contracting company two weeks notice of my resignation.
All of the reasons I know of to offer a notice period do not apply- they have no work for me to handoff or complete, they will not need to replace me, and there is no transition plan to make and execute. The only difference I see is that they continue to collect their margin for two weeks longer.
Would it have been unprofessional to resign from a contracting position without any notice at all?

If you took a full time job at the company in which the contract company got the job for you... then you could be potentially in breach of contract.
Hiring a temp is very common, but they usually have to go through the contracting agency (who gets a finders fee, because well they recommended a "good" person for the job).
As far as being unprofessional, no... that is what a contract-to-hire position is there for. But going around the system might get you (and the company who hired you) in hot water.
