The easiest option is to start a windows forms project, then change the output-type to Console Application. Alternatively, just add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll, and start coding:

using System.Windows.Forms;

[STAThread]
static void Main() {
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.Run(new Form()); // or whatever
}

The important bit is the [STAThread] on your Main() method, required for full COM support.

Another way : 

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    AllocConsole();
}

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
static extern bool AllocConsole();

If you research this topic , just on Google you can find so much way to implement your question : my suggest is to try some method and verify what is more adapt to you.
