Answer 1

Change the output type from Console Application to Windows Application,

And Instead of Console.Readline/key you can use new ManualResetEvent(false).WaitOne() at the end to keep the app running.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Instead of Console.Readline/key you can use new ManualResetEvent(false).WaitOne() at last. This works well for me.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Maybe you want to try creating a Windows Service application. It will be running in the background, without any UI.
