Hiding console window?

how can i hide the console window for the current app? (ie not opened thru System.Diagnostics.Process)

There might be other/easier solutions to this, but anyway:

Code:

---

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace HideConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        public static extern int ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

        public const int  SW_HIDE                = 0;
        public const int SW_SHOWNORMAL                = 1;
        public const int SW_NORMAL                = 1;
        public const int SW_SHOWMINIMIZED        = 2;
        public const int SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED        = 3;
        public const int SW_MAXIMIZE                = 3;
        public const int SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE        = 4;
        public const int SW_SHOW                = 5;
        public const int SW_MINIMIZE                = 6;
        public const int SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE        = 7;
        public const int SW_SHOWNA                = 8;
        public const int SW_RESTORE                = 9;
        public const int SW_SHOWDEFAULT                = 10;
        public const int SW_FORCEMINIMIZE        = 11;
        public const int SW_MAX                        = 11;

       
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // get current process
            Process p = Process.GetCurrentProcess();

            // get main windows handle (console)
            IntPtr pHandle = p.MainWindowHandle;

            // hide it
            if (ShowWindow(pHandle, SW_HIDE) == 0)
            {
                // ShowWindow failed
            }

            // show it
            if (ShowWindow(pHandle, SW_SHOW) == 0)
            {
                // ShowWindow failed
            }
        }
    }
}

Someone else posted this solution which worked for me.

"Create a console application and set in the project properties that it's a windows application. This will make it run in background. "
