I am working on an application that needs to have both a command-line AND windows form interface. I have designed the form, and written a basic console app. The issue comes when I try to display the GUI, as the application is a Console project in VS2008. I do the following:

Dim Apply As Boolean = False
Dim Check As Boolean = False

' Snip.

If Not Apply And Not Check Then
    Dim GUI As New PackManGUI
    GUI.Visible = True
End If

And in the Form:

Private Sub PackManGUI_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    'Populates a treeview
End Sub

And the GUI flashes for a second, but then goes away. How do I make the GUI stay up, and wait for input?

Edited to add more code, and clarity.

Solved it! I needed to use System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run - the form was closing since the program terminates at the end of Sub Main. This method simply loops on the form, like a Windows Form Application would. Documentation here.

If Not Apply And Not Check Then
    Dim GUI As New PackManGUI
    System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(GUI)
End If
