Re: preventing dos window close upon program termination

From what I gather...
You are running the application in debugging mode and the program
crashes.
You want to see all the text normally sent to the console.

Normally, if a program crashes, the debugger will stop and show you
where it crashes. From this point, you can inspect whatever you want.
Seeing all the console outputs is not reliable if the program crashes.
Some of the output might not show up on the console (buffering...)

When it crashes, view the call stack and then track backwards.

the last bit of output from a program before it crashes - while running

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!
