Can anyone give me an idea of how to run a console app and a windows form at the same time? Basically it's a game I'm creating and I want the console window to be the main game screen and the form for the map/game options/shortcuts. Thanks in advance,

Drew

Ok I've changed my project to a window forms app, and changed the start up object to Form1. Now it's throwing this EM: 'Starting a second message loop on a single thread is not a valid operation. Use Form.ShowDialog instead.'

See attachment for a better look at the EM.

Ok I know you can dynamically create forms at runtime but that's a ton of extra code to set up buttons/etc and I really don't want to have to go that route, is there a workaround? Just want a console app and a form running simultaneously in the same program.
