Hi

Just starting out with C#. In the book I'm using it looks like it possible
to get a console window within the IDE it self. But I can't find anything in
the book about how they've managed to do this.
Is this possible to achieve at all? I'm using VS 2005 with C#.

Your book is most likely showing console applications and then screen shots
of the console window when the program runs.

No, I don't think so

In the book there is a screenshot of the IDE, and the IDE windows says
"ConsoleApplication1(running).
And on the left side I have the editor showing the source code, and on the
right it is what looks like a docked window within the IDE saying "Console"
and the actual output of the console application.

The book in question is "beginning Visual C# Express 2005 from beginner to
professional" and the screenshot is on page 34 in chapter 2.

Are you sure you quoted the title correctly? Is it, possibly, slightly
different?
I ask because although a Google search lists several similar titles, but not
the one you cite.
It sounds like the picture is showing you a console application running in
debug mode, with the output appearing in the Output window?
I agree with Scott, that what you have is a simple console application
running.
What statement(s) in the example program are actually producing the output
you see?

The author used a beta version of C# and this feature was cut in the final
version (http://blogs.msdn.com/scottno/archive/2004/07/26/197784.aspx)
