how to prevent to open in console my dynamically generated exe

206 views Asked by At

I am working in c# 4.0, i want to generate an executable file dynamically, so i used Code Dome, but when i executes it open in console and after then my form displays, i want to generate winform executable file. How can i achieve my aim. the code is below :

string Code = @"
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace CSBSS
{
static class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}

public class Form1 : Form
{
}
}

";

CodeDomProvider codeProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp");

string tempFolder = @"..\DynamicOutput";
string Output = System.IO.Path.Combine(tempFolder, @"CSBSS.exe");
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(tempFolder))
{
    System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(tempFolder);
}
else
{
    if (System.IO.File.Exists(Output)) System.IO.File.Delete(Output);
}

System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters();
parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Windows.Forms.dll");

parameters.TempFiles = new TempFileCollection(tempFolder, false);
//Make sure we generate an exe.
parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
parameters.GenerateInMemory = false;
parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;


CompilerResults results = codeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, Code);

string OutputMsg = "";
if (results.Errors.Count > 0)
{
    string msgDescr = "";
    foreach (CompilerError CompErr in results.Errors)
    {
        msgDescr += "Line number " + CompErr.Line +
                    ", Error Number: " + CompErr.ErrorNumber +
                    ", '" + CompErr.ErrorText + ";" +
                    Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
    }
    OutputMsg = @"Error occured while generating executable file, please check following internal error 
" + msgDescr;
    //return false;
}
else
{
    OutputMsg = "Executable file has been generated successfully.";
}

Specify the output type to be a Windows application by using the CompilerOptions:

parameters.CompilerOptions = "/target:winexe";
