Question

I’d like for a single console application to spawn other console windows and output to different ones at different times inside of a C# console application. Preferably within one console application, I spawn some other consoles, write to them, and close them during the finally block of the original console application.

What’s the ideal way to do this in C#?

I don’t believe you can do this with a regular console application. The closest you could come would be to create a your own form in WinForms/WPF which behaved in roughly the same was as a normal console window.

I suppose you could spawn extra processes which each had their own console, and write to them via network connections or named pipes etc… it would be pretty ugly though.
