Yes. You need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms first, or it
will be added automagically when you add a new form to the project, at
least in VS 2008. The rather trivial sample code would be:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Form1 f = new Form1();
f.ShowDialog();
}

You can also use the console in a windows program:

Just call 'AttachConsole' before any Console calls:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern bool AttachConsole(int dwProcessId);
private const int ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS = -1;
