There are two ways I know of  1  Console ReadLine   at the end of the program   Disadvantage  you have to change your code and have to remember to take it out  2  Run outside of the debugger CONTROL-F5 this opens a console window outside of visual studio and that window won t close when finished   Advantage  you don t have to change your code  Disadvantage  if there is an exception  it won t drop into the debugger  however when you do get exceptions  you can simply just rerun it in the debugger
