how do I make the output stay on the screen?

Question

Hello, when I run the program the output displays for a sec then disappears? How do I make it stay?

namespace HelloWorld

 {

    class Program

     {

            static void Main(string[] args)

            {

             System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

            }

     }

}

Answer 1

System.Console.ReadChar() ( from memory, intellisense will fix it if you just type Read, there are three options from memory ).  Put that at the end of your program.

 

          static void Main(string[] args)

            {

             System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

            System.Console.ReadChar();

            }

In visual C# 2005 Express Edition there is a special button for your problem on the toolbar. But by default this button isn't visible.

Go to 'Tools' -> 'Customize'. Click on the tab named 'Command'. There you will see different categories and their commands. Select the 'Debug' categorie. From the command list select the 'Start without debugging' command en drag it to your toolbar.

Now run your application by pressing the button you just added to your toolbar, or hit CTRL + F5.
