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

For WinForms:

PM> Install-Package ConsoleControl

For WPF:

PM> Install-Package ConsoleControl.WPF

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.

To build, open the main ./source/ConsoleControl.sln solution to build and run any of the code or samples.

You can also use the following scripts to run the processes:

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

To create a release:

1. Update the version number in SharedAssemblyInfo.cs
2. Create a new version tag, then push git push --follow-tags

AppVeyor will build and publish a new NuGet package and as long as a new semver tag is pushed.
