disabling shell window while running c# program

Question

I wrote some basic program (from the empty project) which shows window with some buttons, but everytime when I run it visual studio shows me shell black windows, how can I disable this behaviour? thanks in advance

just create a windows application project or console application project with the New Project Wizard instead of an empty one. — Davide Piras, Sep 15 '11 at 14:56

do this:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr GetConsoleWindow();

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

const int SW_HIDE = 0;
const int SW_SHOW = 5;

var handle = GetConsoleWindow();

// Hide
ShowWindow(handle, SW_HIDE);

// Show
ShowWindow(handle, SW_SHOW);
