Form won't show

[gonzalioz]

Hi all,

I created a windows console application because it needs to do some things at windows start up. However, in very rare cases I need to ask the user for some information, so I need to show a form. I created a form and went to my application properties. There I selected Windows Forms application as the application type. I call my form with the .Show method but it doesn't show up.

I expected this, but I have no idea how to solve it.

Any ideas?


[EDIT]
Just found out .Show does show it but only for 0.00001 seconds. I use showdialog now. Is this the right way to do it?

Is it working for you?

AFAIK Console and winforms don't really mix up together, but you could always use the InputBox() for your rare instances of user input.

Dim s As String = InputBox("Enter a string", "Inputbox", "DefaultString")
        Console.Write(s)
        Console.ReadKey()
