We have a legacy application running on UNIX. Our windows users login to the application via a terminal application or commaind prompt. The app looks like one of those car-dealer like application which runs in dos mode interface.
I am creating a new winform interface to the application but still want to keep the legacy application online for a while, however I dont want the users to open up command prompt, but instead access the application from within my winform. Is there a usercontrol which I can place on the winform for command prompt access?
Solution ~ Ended up using a control from Rebex.net, fast integration and easy to use.
I've been keeping my eye on this one. It looks promising.

See this blog post from Jeffrey
With his code you can write to a Console window, even from a Windows Forms application.
NOTE
I would NOT recommend to do that. A Windows Application should use the Windows as GUI and not the console window...
