Is it possible to run a windows form application with the console application?

And if so, how would i use the Main() void?

And how could i pass strings over from the windows form to the console?

First Create the windows Application like normally you do.

Create a new Console Application

In solution Explorer, goto References->Add Reference->Click Browse Tab->Select Project Path to Debug->Select the Application

Also add a Reference to System.Windows.Form;

In the code

Include the namespace of the Application using NewForm;// Example

 class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        TestForm t = new TestForm(); //Class of WindowsFormApplication NewForm 
        t.ShowDialog();

    }
}
}

I think that what you are saying is that you want to have a console application that can simply open a form. You can do this.

Create your console application as per normal but then add your form to your project (or a reference to a project that contains the form). Then you just want something like this.

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("I'm going to open a form now!");
            var form = new Form1();
            form.ShowDialog();
        }
    }
}

If you want to add information to your form, you could add properties to the form or a add a custom constructor which takes string information you want sent to the form.
