C #,. NET: hide the DOS command prompt window

In C # and .NET, I wrote an application that works in Form (using Windows.System.Forms ). I use InnoSetup to install, and I can start the application through the Windows start button.

My problem: a DOS command prompt window appears along with the form. How can I prevent a DOS window from appearing?

Did you create the application using Visual Studio? If so, in the project properties on the tab "Application" there is a parameter "Output Type". If this parameter is set to "Console application", when the program starts, as well as in the form, a command line window will appear. By installing it in the "Windows Application" (the default for Windows Forms projects), this will be done.

EDIT: just looked at your comment on another answer. This option corresponds to the "/ target" switch for the compiler. /target:exe will give you the command line, /target:winexe will just show the form. Hopefully anyway! I'm just going to execute the assembly output from Visual Studio.

It looks like you compiled the application for the wrong purpose. You probably need to tell Visual Studio to compile it using a GUI executable, rather than a CLI executable.

You can do this in the project settings.
