Avalonia: Hide console window ?

[Ali-YousefiTelori]

Is there a way to hide console window and just show main UI?
I see two window when starting my aplication, first Console and next Desktop UI

You can try using this: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NSubsys.

Thank you for replay, how to use? no documents

You need to specify the runtime identifier so that it deploys the dotnet host.

@Ali-YousefiTelori You need publish your app with dotnet publish

[wieslawsoltes]

in your csproj add:

<PropertyGroup>
  <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
  <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
  <RuntimeIdentifiers>win7-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="NSubsys" Version="0.7.0-build20180604-0047" />
</ItemGroup>

then in project directory:

dotnet publish -c Release -f netcoreapp2.0  -r win7-x64

@grokys @wieslawsoltes perhaps we can update this wiki page ?

[jmacato]

@Ali-YousefiTelori can i close this issue now? :)

[Ali-YousefiTelori]

@jmacato yes

[tom-corwin]

I understand this is closed issue, but does your solution work on macOS/Linux also, or is this just a Windows solution?

[jmacato]

@tom-corwin only for windows

If we talk about development for Windows, and using Visual Studio probably, what I did is opened the properties of my application (project) and in the _Application_ section I changed the _Output type_ from Console Application to Windows Application. Now the debug build still opens the console, release build doesn't.
No need for Nsubsys or editbin.
