VB.Net: Console apps

~J~ · 21 Jun 2007 at 12:47

Anyone know where the option is (if there is one!) to stop my console app from automatically closing when it's done?

To test my program I've having to open up a command prompt, navigating through DOS to get to the debug directory of the project and running it from there.

Surely there's a way of doing this?

Maybe you could just stick a console.readline() at the end, think thats what I did when doing console apps in c#

wait for a user keystroke at the end of your main program execution, just before the program finishes?

Code:

Console.ReadKey(True)

This will wait for a single keystroke and intercept it so that it isn't displayed.
