I’m trying out Visual studio 2010 by compiling a C program. After it displays the solution in the “DOS” command window, the window is immediately closed. In Visual studio 2008, one gets the message press any key to continue and pressing a key closes the command prompt window. How do I set this behavior in 2010?

    After a bit of googling, I found this solution that does not involve modifying your code. It contains a workaround that involves modifying your .vcxproj file.

    To do this from within Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express (I’m assuming it is similar for Visual Studio 2010), open your project and navigate to the following menu:

    Project->$YOURPROJECTNAME Properties...
    ->Configuration Properties
        ->Linker
            ->System->SubSystem

    Then use the dropdown to select Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) and apply the change.

    “Start without debugging” should do the right thing now.
