Would be probably easier to have a Library C, which contains the logic and you can drive from either B _or_ A. — Fildor, Feb 17 '21 at 16:33

I guess you want to open the console app with a button on your winforms app. Place this code into the Button_Click method (or whatever your method is called):

Process.Start(programPath);

Replace programPath with the path to your .exe file of the console app. Also make sure that you place following using statement at the beginning of your code:

using System.Diagnostics;
