Re: Console window for Windows application

Have I missed something?  Isn't this what happens automatically when you
build a console application?  Or is there some nuance I've failed to spot?
(I've only had 1 coffee today...)

So if you want this behaviour for a Windows Forms application, just set the
output type to Console Application.  (There's nothing magic about the
/t:winexe switch - it just disables the behaviour your describe.  Console
applications are definitely allowed to open windows.)
