Hi there,
I am a new bee to the VB.NET. I just opened Visual studio and created a console type application and put the following code in Module

Module Module1
Sub Main()
PrintPay(2,3)
End Sub

sub PrintPay(ByVal hour as double, ByVal wage as Double)
Console.Writeln("The total amoun is {0:c}" , hour*wage)
'i was just wanted to stop the command window after displaying the result 'but not sure what command to use
End Sub
End Module

The above code works and displays the result. I am fine with that but just know how to stop the command window from disappearing. I just can't see the result in the window its just gone.

Now Question:
Can not I just write this code in a note pad or text pad and use the commands that i need to to run this sample code from command prompt? I mean like java?

Also please help how to stop the command window from disappearing.
thanks

Sub Main()
PrintPay(2,3)
console.readline
End Sub

this will stop it form closing (hit enter to finish)
 
Both Questions can be Solved By This Solutions

1. After calling all the methods in Main just write a command
Console.Read() . This command allows the screen to wait and display the result.

2. You can open the Visual studio.net command prompt from the Start Menu.
Move to the directory whrere you create your Program. Compile it Using
vbc filename.vb . And Execute it with FileName .

Example
vbc first.vb -- To compile
first --To execute
