I want to convert my code to an exe file. The bin folder has an exe file of my code , but when I run this exe file after I enter the data the window closes me without printing me the results. When I run the C# code in visual studio it ran successfully. I want my C# code to become an .exe file so people don't know what the code behind the C# file is.

    Add Console.ReadLine(); at the end of the code. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8868338/why-is-the-console-window-closing-immediately-without-displaying-my-output – Ole EH Dufour Mar 14 '18 at 20:44

  • "so people do not know what the code behind the .exe file is"??? Are you sure you are talking about C# which can be easily decompiled from exe? – Alexei Levenkov Mar 14 '18 at 23:03

When compiling your Code within Visual Studio, it will automatically generate a fully functional .exe file.

The problem you're having is that the program is done doing his job and closes itself. You have to prevent it from closing itself. You can do that by adding a simple Console.ReadLine(); at the end of your code.

For Example: 

using System;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

That way the console will wait for any input before it continues to do it's work.
