NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.- Marked as answer by Matt SmallMicrosoft employee, Moderator Tuesday, April 30, 2013 3:32 PM

Do you want to provide the console for your end users or do you want to "debug" another app that you don't have the source codes for?Monday, April 29, 2013 8:12 PM

To provide a console you could just add an input field, execute the code the user enters using:
(new Function(input.value))()
and add the input to an internal history buffer, which can be circled through using the up/down arrows in the input field.
Of course more sophisticated stuff, like displaying the result of the user executed code in a tree-like object graph is more difficult :)- Edited by phil_ke Friday, May 10, 2013 12:37 PM
