6. Working with Console Applications

Console applications are programs that operate from the command line, and like other applications you create with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, they have full access to the .NET class library and to features such as inheritance, constructors, overloading, and initializers. They can also access other .NET applications. Console applications are lightweight and fast because they don’t require a graphical user interface.
