In the past I've done this using the AllocConsole API.

Yeah I got the console to show up that way. It comes up as a separate
window from my forms. I wanted to embed it in a form, any idea how to
do that?

I am afraid that you will need to code the entire console then.

There is a way to pass values to the console window and return the response.
I used it once to get the return of a ping command. I'll post it if I find
the code. In the meanwhile have a look at this:

I believe it's similar to what you've already done, but worth checking out.

I made a tool that could either be pure command line or be windowed
depending on the arguments. If no arguments was supplied it was a
windowed interface. It also displayed a console. I just made a console
application and added windows to it like following.

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length == 0)
{
interactive = new Form1();
Application.Run(interactive);
}
else
DoCommandLine(args);
}

Hope this helps
