Visual Stidio C# small problem

jeddie20

Hi, I'm new to this c# craic and I've just downloaded VS2010 to start an assignment, while using 2013 in class there was a 'Start Without Debugging' option, but in 2010 there is only 'Start Debugging'.

Can anyone tell me is there anyway to open up without debugging? I've pressed CTRL + F5 but that just opens up the Windows cmd window

Cheers for any help

Are you using visual 2010 express? or the full version ?

Have you started with a console application project ? which would explain windows cmd window.

CTRL + F5 shoudl run with debug.

Yeah I'm using the express version, I started with console application project, have I gone wrong already? :pac:

No that's fine.

If you do a console.writeline("hello");

formatting might be off there.

You should see hello when you run your project.

What are you trying to do?

Yeah I do see hello when I run the project, but the window closes again as soon as it opens, as in, you have to look closely to make out 'hello' but it will close just as quick. I just want it to stay open so I can actually see that everything is working

Odd, try adding Console.ReadKey(); after Console.Writeline ...

Yes, that does the job Cheers for that
