Still doesn't work for me. Here's my code - I think it's the same as what
you're proposing:
if (args.Length == 0) {
Application.Run(new MForm());
} else {
Console.OpenStandardOutput();
Console.WriteLine("Hello there");
Console.ReadLine();
}
Changed the output type to Win app. When called with no parameters, the
form appears just right and no console is behind it. However, when started
from the command prompt with parameters, the application doesn't output
anything and doesn't wait for that Enter keypress. If started from the
cmdline with no paramaters, it's again fine - the form appears

I changed the output type to be a windows app and did this for the main
method and it seemed to work
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length>0)
{
Application.Run(new MixedAppTest.TestForm()); } else {
Console.OpenStandardOutput(); Console.WriteLine("Hello there");
Console.ReadLine(); } // // TODO: Add code to start application here // }
