First, let me say that as Richard wrote above, this is NOT the best way to do things. That said, if you actually do have a good reason for this, it can be done.

The trick is that a console app doesn't set up a message loop, which is what GUI apps need to function... It's easy, but you have to do it yourself.

[STAThread()]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Hit a key: ");
   Console.ReadKey();

   System.Windows.Forms.Form frm = new System.Windows.Forms.Form() { Text = "Test" };

   System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(frm);
}


Note that the form pops up behind the console, and that the console will remain open (Closing the console will end the program).

The same code works in WPF, except you create a new System.Windows.Application and call the run method on that instance.

(Tested in VS2008, CLR 3.5)

Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
