Hide Console Window in C# Console Application

Question

The thing is, I really don't want the console window to show up, but the solution should be running. My point here is, I want to keep the application running in the background, without any window coming up.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Change the output type from Console Application to Windows Application. This can be done under Project -> Properties -> Application in Visual Studio:

Answer 2

Change your application type to a windows application. Your code will still run, but it will have no console window, nor standard windows window unless you create one.
