Installing

Installing couldn't be easier, just use NuGet. You can search for 'ConsoleControl' or install directly.

Using ConsoleControl

Once you've installed the package, the ConsoleControl will be available in the toolbox. Add a ConsoleControl to your WPF or WinForms project and call StartProcess to start a new process. The process will run and all output will be directed to the ConsoleControl. You can also optionally enable input from the control.

You can learn how the ConsoleControl was created by reading the article Embedding a Console in a C# Application article on the CodeProject.
