I'm trying to get VS 2005 to stop closing the command window when I'm running
examples from the "Learn to tango with D" book. (I'm using that VS plugin from

I've tried running the examples with and without debugging, but the command
window still closes down rapidly.

I've even tried using a function to wait for user input.. but that won't work
either. I've no idea what's going on. Here's a peace of code I've tried:

[code]
import tango.io.Console;

void main()
{
Cout ("What is your name? ") ();
auto name = Cin.get();

Cout ("Hello ") (name).newline;
}
[/code]

Try Thread.sleep(3600);

That will sleep for an hour :)

Of course, you'll have to kill it to stop it.

You can also always simply run cmd.exe and run it from the command line.

Stick another Cin.get(); at the end of the code. That way, it will pause
for you to press another key before terminating, giving you a chance
to look over the output.

I think there is an option in the console window to keep it open too,
somewhere in right click its taskbar icon, hit edit->properties and look
under those tabs for the checkbox, but I'm not sure if that is actually
there anymore.

Just getting another line of user input at the end of the program will
work though.

Doesn't it wait for input if you just add an extra Cin.get() at the end?

Try running your applications using Ctrl+F5, this should help.
