I changed the output type to be a windows app and did this for the main method
and it seemed to work
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length>0)
{
Application.Run(new MixedAppTest.TestForm());
}
else
{
Console.OpenStandardOutput();
Console.WriteLine("Hello there");
Console.ReadLine();
}
//
// TODO: Add code to start application here
//
}
