Console windows

tarzannn · May 23rd, 2007, 11:41 PM

Hi, I'm just started to study C# and have a question.
In the book, the console result stays as displaying "Press any key to continue" at the end.
However, whenever I run the test, it shows very shortly and disappear right away. I'm running VS on Vista.
Is there any option to make my console stay without shutting off?

Thanks,

John.

You might be pressing F5 to run the program. Press Cntrl + F5. Which will start your program without debugging. You can even use F5, by placing a break point in any line of your code which will allow you to debug your code. You can place a breakpoint on any line by pressing F9.

Ctrl + F5 works for me.

You could also add:

Code:

Consolw.WriteLine("Press ENTER to end.");Console.ReadLine();

which will wait until you press ENTER.
