    Write to Console from a WinForm

    I downloaded a sample project that was a Winform app that printed debug data using Console.WriteLine() to the console screen that popped up behind the WinForm.

    I tried making a new Winform myself, and using Console.WriteLine in a click event, it processed but the console didn't pop-up and show the text (even after I put Console.Read after the write).

    I couldn't find any difference (code or references) between the sample and mine.

    any ideas ?

    Maybe the first was a console project from the start ? Just a wild guess...

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
