Visual Studio 2013 Not Displaying

Question

I am using the VS2013 on a windows 8.1 to learn Programming Windows from a book I bought, programming windows 6th edition. I am trying to use VS2013 to build and run the following cs code

class FirstProgram
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, .NET Framework!");
    }
}

It compiles correctly according to the debug, but it takes me to a new window titled "FirstProgram.Window". Which, is the name of my program, but nothing displays on the screen.

Answer 1

That is because your Main method ends directly after Console.WriteLine, thus closing the console window. Add a call to Console.ReadKey() to make the window hang waiting for input.

Answer 2

The output actually gets written to that Window. Try adding a new line to your code

public static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, .NET Framework!");
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
Console.Read();
}

Or, use Ctrl + F5 to start your console app.

Answer 3

I suppose you created a windows form,If you just want to show something on the screen write.

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Your message");

Console.WriteLine will print output to Console window. If you are creating console application refer to other answers.

Answer 4

You can use Below menioned Code to see the Output

 System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, .NET Framework!");

 Debugger.Break();

Answer 5

C#

CONSOLE APPLICATION

1. try using Ctrl + F5 to run application!
2. or simply add any of Console.Read(); or Console.ReadLine(); at the end of your code!

example:

class FirstProgram
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, .NET Framework!");
        /* your code goes here! */
        Console.Read();
    }
}
