How Can I Programmatically Hide a C# Console Application's Window?

Programmatically hide C# console application windows

By default, any C# console application will display a console window, but this is sometimes not ideal. While there are some less elegant solutions, such as using FindWindow() to find the console window by title, better methods exist in the Windows API.

How to hide the console window

To hide the console window associated with a C# console application, follow these steps:

1. Open the Visual Studio solution containing the C# console application.
2. Right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select Properties.
3. In the Application tab, change the Output Type from Console Application to Windows Application.
4. Click OK to save changes.

After building and running the application, the console window will be hidden.

Note:

• Changing the output type to "Windows Application" actually converts the console application into a Windows Forms application.
• This method will permanently hide the console window. If you need to display the console window again, you will need to change the output type back to "Console Application".
