Hi, This is probably a mute point, but id like to know when to choose a
console application to a windows application. What i meen is this. Most
coding in books is with the console application. I think this is
possibly because as a beginner its easier to demonstrate c# principles.
But I got to thinking if Im writing an application that needs no user
input, and the only information shown to the user is how many records
are proccesed, do i choose console over window app. Im thinking from
speed of proccesing. Also, and this very much an exploratory area for
me, but does threading apply to console applications as well.

In my opinion, console applications are only for tasks that require no
user input. I've built several, but they were all for batch processing
in our organization. If I require user interaction then I write a
WinForms application.
Speed of processing should not be a consideration in making this
choice. I can think of no situation in which choice of user interface
should be driven by speed considerations.
My style is that if I'm writing a single-purpose app, which could
reasonably be a console, I'd write a class that did the real work to
accept all parameters in it's constructor.
I would then write a Winform which accepted the parameters, with a [Go]
button, which created the object to do the work, using the parameters,
from the form.
Then, in the Main() method, I'd look for command line parameters. If
none, I'd launch the winform. If there are commandline parameter, I'd
allocate a console (see: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/....AllocConsole), create the
object using the comand--line arguments, and run it as a console app. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

But, I want is that I can have a Main app that will start a new process or
kill one particular or all process. The process will open a console exe.
But, I don't want the user to close the console windows by themselves, and
force them to use the Main app.
If I use Windows Services, I'm not sure can I create one dynamically, and
then kill easily. But, if using console application, my following coding is
working now.

Hi I have a really basic question hopefully some can help me with:
Can you write a (i.e. one) C# project that works from the cmd line and gui?
I seems if i write a GUI app it can't write to console using
System.Console.WriteLine if thge project has its "Output Type" to
"Windows Application".
However I can write to stdio if i set output type to "Console
Application". When I do this I unfortunately get a "console box" as well

I got a project called "Forms" that hold some forms and stuff in my
solution.
A argument at startup defines wether to use a From or Console.
My plan was to create a myConsole class that would also allow my application
to display a Console, but i don't seem to be allowed to do this.
I don't see any References that i need to add, so how do i do this.

I have a exception handling class that could be called from either a windows
project app or a console project app. Is there any way for this class to
determine which type of app called it without sending an window/console
parameter from either app?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am writing a console application to send a key sequence to an old
clunky application on a regular interval using the windows scheduler. I
can get it to work if it is a windows form application but not in a
console application. Two questions I have:
1) how can I get this code modified to use System.Windows.Forms.Keys
2) I like to pass a parameter to the console app to indicate which key
needs to be passed to the application. so:

Hi All
I have a server based C# console application. This application must
hide its console window when its launched out on the field. So I
dutifully P/Invoke'd FindWindow/ShowWindow combination to hide the
console window at launch time.
The application (for legacy reasons) hangs around by waiting on an old-
fashioned Console.ReadLine() statement.

Hello,
I'm wroting a console utility in VB 2005, and I need the ability to pass
parameters to the application when the program runs. For example, if my
program is called testing.exe, I need to be able to run this:
c:\testing.exe c:\test
....and have 'c:\test' passed to the program as a variable. Most of my VB
books focus on web forms or windows forms, but not much details on console

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
