How to have a popup form from a console application.

MikeM75 asked:

I have a program that is nearly completed and written as a C# Console application. I do this because this program works with directories a lot and I am most comfortable writing console applications.

What I need is a way to have a popup form launched from my console application. The form doesnt need to do anything other than display some graphics generated by the console app.

I have looked at other people handel this problem by converting their entire project to a windows form application. I really dont want to do this as all i need a form for is a popup window with a graph displayed on it.

Is this even possible? And can someone either explain how to get this started or point me in the direction of an article that explains this.

Thank You,
Mike.
