Thread: Console application works when "F5" the page but not when clicking "ConsoleApp.exe"

Hi,

I have created a console application with a little code that creates a file.
The code works fine when debugging with F5 but when I try to execute the file by doubleclick it, nothing happens:

File that I try to doubleclick:
..My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ConsoleApp\ConsoleApp\bin\Release\Co nsoleApp.exe

I wonder if I miss something out?

This is the code I have in the application. It only runs when debugging with F5, but not when doubleclick the .exe file in the release folder?

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace consoleApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            FileStream hr = new FileStream("D:/test.txt", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.ReadWrite);
            StreamWriter file1 = new StreamWriter(hr); 
            file1.WriteLine("testString"); file1.Close(); hr.Close();

        } //static void Main(string[] args)
    }
}

This looks like C#

Have you checked the test.txt file? The command window can go astonishingly fast sometimes. Maybe try adding a DateTime.Now.ToString() to the writeline just to check.

Yes you are right, I did some kind of mistake by forgetting to take "Build Solution" F6 and not only F5. When doing that the new changes
was also made to the .exe file itself. So I think it is solved now.

Thank you for help

Also forgot to mention that command windows under normal conditions don't have the "press any key ... " at the end. Dead easy to add.

Code:

Console.WriteLine();
Console.Write("Press any key to exit ...");
Console.ReadKey();
