console closes immediately

[greyhat]

Hello everybody

Since I use vs.net2k3 my console applications close immediately.
When I used vs6 I always had the possibility to hit a key before the console closed. The message "press any key to continue" appeared.
So my question is, how can i get this feature again?

Thanks for suggestions, regards

If your execution is not paused by a loop then use cin.ignore(); to obtain the "press any key to continue" prompt.

add a cin.get() just before the return statement in main(). Alternatively system("PAUSE&quot should do the trick.

Thanks for advices. I use a new line "getchar();" before the return value and it works fine.
But I would like it old school like in vs6, is that possible?

#include<conio.h> and getch()
