[C#] Console Application

[giocloud]

Hello All,

I'm new to write C# console apps. I have:

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Person p = new Person("Tony", "Allen", 32);

Console.WriteLine(p);

}

struct Person

{

public string firstName;

public string lastName;

public int age;

........

}

When I click the 'play' button in Visual Studio the console window pops up and displays what it should, but closes immediately. How do i keep the window open until I type exit or something of my choice?

Add a Console.ReadLine(); after the line Console.WriteLine(p);

That will mean you then have to type something and press enter to cause the program to exit.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Person p = new Person("Tony", "Allen", 32);
Console.WriteLine(p);
Console.ReadLine();			  //  Program wont exit until you type something and press enter

}
struct Person
{
public string firstName;
public string lastName;
public int age;
........
}

it should do that automaticly though if you start with debugging

or just add a breakpoint on the last line of code ;)

No, you have to run it without debugging and then it does that automatically. With debugging, you need to set a breakpoint.
