[2.0] Hide a console applicationHi, I have a console application and I would like to hide it when it's running.
Of course I took a look into the StartInfo property of the Process Class (CreateNoWindow, WindowsStyle) but when I start my application, the dos windows is still visible. Process p = Process.GetCurrentProcess(); p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; This application is started by an other program which is not developped in ..NET so I can't create a ProcessStartInfo object and set CreateNoWindow and WindowsStyle. Anyway I haven't source code. Does someone have an idea or the solution for me ? Thanks Fred Unless your app starts the process, the window cannot be hidden.

In fact that's rigth I changed my console application to a "form application" without start a "form" and my application works like I want.
