I have an app I would like to create to be used as a console environment as well as a Windows environment.

For example...

1) From command window

I want to open command prompt and type myapp.exe --help for it to show my the console output of...

c:\myapp.exe

Usage: myapp.exe [--option]
Switches:
  --help : Shows this information.
  --ver  : Shows version.

2) From window

I want to double click on myapp.exe and it to show a form window instead.

Currently I do this by setting the project type to Console Application but this also shows a console window under my form when I double click it.

Is there a way to create the application to be used in both environments?
