ok, i have a question, can you run a console application directly from bootup on the system, like set the boot order to cd for first and have a console application on the cd and it will come up. if not what kind of programming language will compile an application to run directly at boot order on the computer not operating system. for example a program like partition magic, doesnt need an operating system to partition the selected drive. i only suggest console app, because windows app looks to visual to be run at a computer bootup

As far as I know, it does have to be an OS. A very small one with a very specific purpose, but I'm pretty sure that it is an OS. And no, you can't run a .NET console app before windows is loaded. .NET relies on the framework and JIT compiler.

If you wanted to get really nasty, you could customize a version of linux to be lightweight but then add in the mono/.NET support and try to do that. But that seems like a LOT of work.
wow, i new an windows application would, but the console application seems so simple like you could run it directly from the source, but it would make sense to have a compiler and you'd need an OS for that. but i'd still like to know how that program runs directly from the cd, like there's no program to program programs like such ? hmm

It probably has its own mini-OS. You might be able to find some things on google about it. I've never dealt with it though.
I'm positive that they have their own bootable OS. A small one, to be sure, but an OS nonetheless.
well that makes sense. but how can u make an os? or is it not possible for the average developer

Probably not. If you know assembly and c/c++, you're on the right track.
BTW, this reminds me of something really funny...

wow, that is hilarious, haha he thought he knew everything, and visual basic isnt really much, *depending what your primary goal in programming is*, i'd like to learn C and C++ and learn how to create a whole system, it would be very neat, but im sure it takes a lot of practice and years of experience. ok thanks for your help, and if all goes successful, i will let you know, but i think im gonna put this project to the side for a while, and here is a link on how to create kernels in C++ for an operating system, for those interested in creating an operating system. thanks for your help, i was just curious. :)

For your purposes I would have suggested TinyLinux or something like that.

I am trying to figure out how to create a console window but cannot figure
out how to do this. I know it can be done since the C# and VB console
template projects do this but I see no code on how this is done.
The only thing I can think of is that there is hidden code to spawn cmd.exe?
Then they somehow direct console.read and console.write calls to the spawned
process.
Any thoughts (and some sample code) would be greatly appreciated.

This is long. Bear with me, as I will really go through all the convoluted
stuff that shows there is a problem with streams (at least when used to
redirect stdout).
The basic idea is that my application (VB.NET) will start a process,
redirect its stdout and capture that process' output, displaying it in a
window.
I've written a component for this, and a test application for the component.
It allows me to specify a command to execute,...

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

Hello,
I recently completed a MC++ (VS2003) DLL that wraps a non MFC C++ DLL

Trouble is that when I ran it and looked at memory usage (in Windows
task manager) it looked as if there was a very slow leak. To isolate

When one uses the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method to launch a common

However, when using some of the 'advanced' properties of the StartInfo
object, like Username, Password and Domain, the WindowsStyle property of the

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
