Console Application that doesn't read?

I have a console application that listens for connections on a certain port using a TcpListener. I start the TcpListener but when I open my program the console immediately exists. How can I avoid it exiting while I am still doing asynchronous work?

You can use a ManualResetEvent to keep your application up. Just create one, wait on it, and signal it in your asynchronous code when you want the application to close:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    ManualResetEvent signal = new ManualResetEvent(false);

    //start asynchronous work
    //call signal.Set(); to close the application

    signal.WaitOne();
}

As the last statement in your console app, add:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
