The others are correct in saying that you need to run your app as a console app. To your question of whether you can have both a console and a GUI: yes. Simply add a reference to System.Windows.Forms to your project, and for the app's Main method, include this code:

' here instantiate whatever form you want to be your main form '
Dim f As New Form1

' this will start the GUI loop, which will not progress past '
' this point until your form is closed '
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(f)
