Debug and Release do not control whether or not you get a console window. That is controlled by the project's output type. (Properties -> Application -> Output Type). Console Application will get you a console window which will visualize and receive input from the window into the Error, In, and Out streams in System.Console.

The System.Console class exposes several properties and methods for interacting with its streams even if you cannot see it. Most notably: Error, In, Out, SetError(), SetIn(), SetOut(), and the Read and Write methods.
