Is it possible to write an app that's a console app AND a Windows app?

I want to write an app that acts as a console app most of the time. It will always be passed parameters. But, when I pass it certain parameters, I want it to bring up a window that allows for administration of the app. Is this possible If so, what's the best way to do this. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    I think you start a Console App, then in you MyProject page, add a reference to the .NET class System.Windows.Forms

    Then add Forms or Dialogs and call them when needed.

    I'm not an expert...but I think it will work.

    Yes, definately. Create a windows app, then in your static void main, add your console code, including code to conditionally start the main form ( you'll start with code that just creates that form ).

    Actually, you may need to create a console app and add forms to it, in order for the console window to come up.
