Hi Ram if you want to have always that console window runing the easiest way
is to start a WindowsForms application and then go to the project settings
and change the 'Output Type' to 'Console Application'. This way you'll have
windows application the will have console window attached as soon as you
start the application. The other way is to create a console application (as
Marc suggested and add reference to System.Windows.Forms and may one or two
assemblies more) and then in the main method only you have to do is to
create a form and call Application.Run(form). Where 'form' is reference to
the form you just created (the main form of the application). You can also
move the entry point (main method) in the form class and get rid of the
class the wizard created for you
