Console Writes from Multiple Threads

In a VB 2005 Console Application, can multiple threads write to the console
without causing problems? I know this is a quick way to destabilize a
Windows Forms application.

Yes they can. Of course if you want the output to appear in a
predictable way you'll still need to synchronize the writes.

Thanks - syncing the writes isn't a problem with synclock.

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 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.
