I'm working on some elearning courses from MS
i'm such a beginner i don't even know how to test the sample codes
create a new windows app, new console app, new class library?
lessons never tell a beginner the basic stuff - they always assume more
knowlege than i have
:-)

in this example it writes to the console
but when i run it, the dos prompt window flashes open and closes too fast to
read.
how to keep it open or where else to see the results of console.writeline
i don't see it in immediate window nor in output window.
even if i start a dosprompt before running this code the lines don't print
to that console, the other one still flashes open and closes immediately

here's the entire sample from elearning
Dim sFrame As StackFrame = New StackFrame(0, True)

' Display the flne name in execution

Console.WriteLine(" File: {0}", sFrame.GetFileName)

it doesn't say how to test it, but I started a new project in vb dotnet 2008
express - new console app

in module1.vb i pasted the code inside sub main

Module Module1

Sub Main()

Dim sFrame As StackFrame = New StackFrame(0, True)

' Display the flne name in execution

Console.WriteLine(" File: {0}", sFrame.GetFileName)

End Sub

End Module

then i hit debug-startdebugging

and the console window flashes (but it's behind the vis studio window - i
can see a corner of it only)

what am i missing?

thanks

Just put "Console.ReadLine" just before "End Sub" of main sub.
