Put a Console Read   as the last line in your program  That will prevent it from closing until you press a key  static void Main string   args        StringAddString s   new StringAddString        Console Read

You forgot calling your method   static void Main string   args                  StringAddString s   new StringAddString          s AddString        it should stop your console  but the result might not be what you expected  you should change your code a little bit   Console WriteLine string Join      strings2

Use Console Readline   at the end  Your code will not close until you close it manually Since Readline waits for input that needs to be entered for your code hence your console will be open until you type some input

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

Console ReadKey true     This command is a bit nicer than readline which passes only when you hit enter  and the true parameter also hides the ugly flashing cursor while reading the result    then any keystroke terminates
