This is a probably an embarasing question as no doubt the answer is blindingly obvious.
I've used Visual Studio for years, but this is the first time I've done any 'Console Application' development.
When I run my application the console window pops up, the program output appears and then the window closes as the application exits.
Is there a way to either keep it open until I have checked the output, or view the results after the window has closed?

Start the project with Ctrl + F5 instead of just F5 . The console window will now stay open with the Press any key to continue . . . message after the program exits.
You can simply press Ctrl + F5 instead of F5 to run the built code. Then it will prompt you to press any key to continue. Or you can use this line -> system("pause"); at the end of the code to make it wait until you press any key.
Keep Console Open With the Ctrl + F5 Shortcut in C# The best approach for keeping our console window open after the execution of code is to run it with the Ctrl + F5 shortcut of the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.
If you run without debugging (Ctrl+F5) then by default it prompts your to press return to close the window. If you want to use the debugger, you should put a breakpoint on the last line.

Right click on your project
Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > System
Select Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) in SubSystem option or you can just type Console in the text field!
Now try it...it should work
