console window closing upon opening

[Guest]

hi,

i have a working console app. however, it closes as soon as it opens.

i know that it works because i can just about read it. how do i stop it from
closing straight after opening?

Open up a command prompt window, navigate to the directory in which your
program resides and type its name.

Alternatively, choose 'Start without Debugging' from the Debug menu in the
IDE.

Try

"Console.ReadLine ( ) ;"

to make the console window stay opened until a key is being pressed.

Use getch() if this is a native C++ app.

Use Console::ReadKey(true) if this is a C++/CLI app.
