Re: preventing dos window close upon program termination

The Dos window you are referring to is the console window and is not the same thing as cmd.exe. The console window WILL close when the program terminates and you can't change that. If you need to see something in the window after your main program logic runs, add a Console.ReadLine() as the last line in your program. Then, the console window will stay until you press the Enter key. Keep in mind that you program is technically still running as far as the operating system is concerned.

How can I cause the dos window that my program executes in remain open after
my program quits? (I'd like the debugger to behave as if I ran my program
from cmd.exe instead of from explorer)

I can get similar behavior by inserting a breakpoint right before
termination, but I'm looking for a breakpointless solution.

Thanks!
