when the program is executing, how to stop the program and open the cmd window thru the application itself ? (In C#)

Use the System.Console class to read and write to the StdIn/StdOut/StdError streams. Make sure your project type is set to Console Application, and then use Console.Read() or Console.ReadLine() to read input from the command window. These calls are synchronous and will block execution of your application until they return. This will provide the effect you are after if you want the console window to remain open until your data has been input from the command window. Try this inside of your application. Start a new console application in C# and paste this code over the stock Main method.


static void Main(string[] args)
{
// read the ASCII value of the char typed and cast it to a char value
char ch = (char)Console.Read();

// read the ASCII value of the char typed

int asciiCode = Console.Read();

// read the input data until a return or new line is read
// this allows the user to type away until they press enter/return
// this method will return you information one line at a time...
string line = Console.ReadLine();
}
