[Mono-devel-list] Mono in Windows

[Francisco T. Martinez]

There are a couple of factors that will make it difficult to bypass that. 

The Mono runtime piece that users use to launch their application is 
mono.bat (which wraps mono.exe and sets the environment) will typically 
open a console.  That is just what batch files do in Win32 (both *.bat 
and *.cmd). 

Finally, you could compile your application using csc or our mcs and use 
the option -target:winex to mitigate a starting Windows console. 
However, if your application does calls to System.Console.WriteLine("") 
these will not be seen because stdout will not be visible for your app 
(again mono.exe stdout and stderr will be seen printed on the open console).

If your application is a 100% pure Gtk# application you could recompile 
the code using .NET Framework SDK and Gtk# (no Mono) and using the 
-target:winexe option it will look like other traditional Windows 
applications
