There are some Win32 API functions that does that and you can
call them from C#.

I have some code somewhere if you are interested.

I seem to recall there's a way to minimize, restore, and maximize the
console window... How do you get the window handle to the console?  From
there, it should be easy.

The WinAPI function for that is, perhaps surprisingly, called
"GetConsoleWindow".

Functions to create and close a console in the process are
"AllocConsole" and "CloseConsole", respectively.
