How can I run an application and do not show the console?

I've got a console application and I want to run it from another application. But when I invoke it from code--to call program I use ActiveXObject--it shows the console. How do I get it to not show the console? I mean, the program works but console is shown.

You can create it as a Windows Forms application with a hidden window. That's just one possibility like Reed Copsey pointed out, i used it once because i needed to process some specific Window Messages.

If you make the application a Windows Application instead of a Console Application it will not show or open (or use) a Console. Your code can stay the same - and the application will still function (without ever creating a Form or Window).

That being said, if you control the "other" application, you may want to consider making a class library instead of a separate Application. This would allow you to just include and run code within the library without starting a separate process.
