C# winforms form show cmd

Question

I am creating a UI application in VS without using the form designer. After creating a new form and compiling everything works good. Form is rendered, but also a cmd console is rendered! Why console is rendered with form?

I create in VS empty C# project and create Program.cs and MainWindow.cs

Program.cs

/// <summary>
/// 
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// 
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args"></param>
/// 
[STAThread]
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new MainWindow());
}

MainWindow.cs

public class MainWindow : Form
{
    private Form _mainWindowForm;

    public MainWindow()
    {
        _mainWindowForm = new Form();

        _mainWindowForm.Text = "Test";
        _mainWindowForm.Width = 800;
        _mainWindowForm.Height = 700;
    }
}

Where have I gone wrong?

Answer 1

Create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio. Delete the autogenerated Form1.cs form and open the Program.cs file and do something like this:

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

        var myForm = new Form();
        myForm.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        // Do anything else to the form here in code

        Application.Run(myForm);
    }

Right click on project and select Properties option. In the Application tab You will see project output. Here you need to select Windows Application as the project output.
