Running a C# app from the cmd window

[Steve Le Monnier]

Quick question, I've designed an app to be run from the command window, and
am trying to output a message to the command window if the incorrect number
of parameters are passed.

I've used console.writeline but nothing appears in the command window.

How do I get a C# app to write a message to the command window? I do not
want to use MessageBox.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

How are you running your app? If it's a console app, navigate to it via
the command window and run it instead of executing it by double
clicking. You may try compiling it via the command window as well (I
find it's helpful to learn C# that way instead of always relying on an
IDE).

HTH,

Chris

Hi.

Are your application type set to Console Application? (Project
properties --> Common Properties --> General --> Output Type). I'm not
sure it matters at all, but Console.WriteLine(..) is the correct way to
write to the command window as far as I know.

Thanks Halvard, didn't realise that property existed, RTFM me thinks.
