I tested it .by using this method only a window opens which I can select the console project from.Then the console projects opens in vs window. I want the console project to run in a black screen.

If you specify the path to the app, the app will run. That is the only way in C# to run an external app. It does not care that it's a console app.

Thaks a lot it worked well.What if I don't know the installation path.suppose that I want to instal my project on another computer.Then How can I set the path?

string appPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath); will get you the folder your app is in, you can use that to build the path if it's in your folder. You can write code to trawl the file system, but if it's an exteral app, you're better off asking the user to tell you where it is and storing that info.
