Simple Console question

[Steve]

Hi All,

I have created a console apllication in visual studio and written it in c#,
the problem i have is when i run it, it displays the console and closes it
straight away, before i have a chance to read the results.

How can i stop the console from closing by itself ?

Is there some way i can get the console to prompt for a key to be pressed
before it will close or something like that ?

Thanks

Steve

Add a Console.ReadLine() at the end of your Main method. Or use Start
Without Debugging (Ctrl+F5) to run the application.

Run the console program from a command prompt.

If you are running it from VS.net use Cntl-F5 (start without
debugging) instead of F5 (start).

First of return and close the application insert
this command.
Console.Writeline();
In this manner the program is waiting for.
To close the application press Return key.
