Console Applications [Resolved]
Hi All,
Very elementary question. I have searched the Forum and looked at the Poll thread, but that does not deal with the following:
What precisely is a "Console Application"?
You can write to the console from a Windows Application. Why do we need a Console Application facility?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?
When should we use it and when shouldn't we?

The more I learn about VB.NET the more I like dBaseIII Plus

Well, I think I'm going to take a stab at that.
I think the answer to your question is fairly simple, you would be using a console application when a graphical user interface is not required. A console application processes inputted and output by using a commandline console. You can find a lot of information about console applications in the Visual Basic online help.
I hope to somewhat helps.
Code:
Dim R1 As Fast
Dim Kawasaki As crap
Dim rash As necessary
If Kawasaki onRoad = True Then
R1.runoverKawasaki
Kawasaki = rash

AHHHHH
It sounds like it is similar to the old DOS type programmes, e.g. dBase III plus and earlier, where a windows interface is not required. I don't suppose any of you guys were around in those days to comment on this???( 1980's and earlier)

Oh yes lots of older people here.
Well, you sort of hit the nail on the head, that is exactly what it is it is simply a command prompt application. There is lots of stuff that can be done with a console application, but I'd rather not go into details since I do not know that much about it.
Code:
Dim R1 As Fast
Dim Kawasaki As crap
Dim rash As necessary
If Kawasaki onRoad = True Then
R1.runoverKawasaki

Hi rally2000,
Many thanks for your prompt & helpful response.
"Oh yes lots of older people here."
Bet you don't remember my Royal Enfield 700 or my Tiger 110
(I won't even mention my Morris 10/4 car!!!)
Edit: Sorry, I just noticed your location. MY you work working late!! Forget my comments on Royal Enfield etc. you probably have not even heard of them.
Many thanks,
