    suppress console window

    Hi folks,
    How do I suppress the console window in a console app? If I double-click the
    app from explorer, I'd like the window not to appear.
    Thanks,
    Eric

      One way to achieve what you want is to change the application into a Windows
      Forms application and remove all the forms and create a class with a static
      void Main() method in it.

          Clever!
          That makes it a Windows NonForms application then, doesn't it...

          E ;-)

                  I already had a console app written and was about to create a new windows app
                  and do what you said. But, just for kicks, I decided to change the project's
                  Output Type property from Console Application to Windows Application just to
                  see what it would do. IT WORKED.

                  The property is in the project properties dialog, Common
                  Properties|Gene ral|Output Type. Setting it to Windows Application eliminated
                  my console window.

                  Thanks.
