this is my first time posting so I will be quick. I am very new to programming, I am currently starting with C#..

I am writing a form application that's basically a game. Think like one of those random .exe games you come across sometimes. Well anyway, I am determined to bang my head until it's built but I wanted to ask..

I am having trouble trying to find a way to bring up a console window via a button click event. The console would be used for IO.

Any help would be nice, and greatly appreciated.

Thank you all.

"EDIT" This question was marked as a duplicate, so I wanted to state why its different, the console window would come up and it would be used to talk to Orion, the exe program. Essentially IO, nothing more than that.

  • `Application.Run(new ConsoleApp());` just create the console app inside your current project and then run it. – vipersassassin Mar 14 '17 at 15:54
  • what code do you have so far? – Phil3992 Mar 14 '17 at 15:55
  • @vipersassassin that does not answer OP's question – rbm Mar 14 '17 at 15:55
  • @Phill3992 I have very little code save for 'this.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;' I am learning this stuff as I am working on the project. I had an earlier version of "Orion" but it got lost, this is Orion 2.0 – Jake Stalh Mar 14 '17 at 16:00
  • I don't think you want a console window if I understand you correctly. I think you want a form where the user can type commands and see output?? – Ben Mar 14 '17 at 16:51
  • Yesss @Ben That is what I need. – Jake Stalh Mar 15 '17 at 02:35
  • Make a form. Put a listbox on it for the output. Put a textbox on it for input. Put an OK button on it. When the user clicks OK you can process the input. Show output by adding lines to the listbox. – Ben Mar 15 '17 at 09:26
