How to stop C# console applications from closing automatically?
Console.ReadLine();
or
Console.ReadKey();
ReadLine()
waits for ↩, ReadKey()
waits for any key (except for modifier keys).
Edit: stole the key symbol from Darin.
You can just compile (start debugging) your work with Ctrl+F5.
Try it. I always do it and the console shows me my results open on it. No additional code is needed.
Try Ctrl + F5 in Visual Studio to run your program, this will add a pause with "Press any key to continue..." automatically without any Console.Readline() or ReadKey() functions.
