In Visual C++ 6, when running a console-based application, the console stays open saying "Pres any key to continue..." after it's done executing. In Visual Studio .NET, it doesn't do that, the console just disappears, not giving me any moment to look at whatever I was doing or the end results. Is there a solution to that? I know a workaround is to ask the user for a dummy input, but I'm asking about the real solution, to have it behave like VC++ 6. Thank you all.

Ctrl-F5.
or go to Debug/Start without debugging

You have several options:

You can do "system("pause");" at the end of your program. Not portable.
Or "getch();" at the end of your program. Include or I think ncurses has it as well. Not really portable either.
Or, my favorite, "std::cin.get();" at the end. Include . Portable.

[edit] @Xtreme: And that too... We learn things every day.
