Show/Hide the console window of a C# console application

Question

I googled around for information on how to hide one’s own console window. Amazingly, the only solutions I could find were hacky solutions that involved FindWindow()

See my post here:

Show Console in Windows Application

You can make a Windows application (with or without the window) and show the console as desired. Using this method the console window never appears unless you explicitly show it. I use it for dual-mode applications that I want to run in either console or gui mode depending on how they are opened.
