Change the "World.PrintLine"s to "Console.PrintLine", then go to the project settings and change it back to console. Change the main statement back and add the GUI start to the end of the main statement. Good luck! =]

it really wasnt that hard to convert the only thing i had issues on and still seam to is gettin the text to go into the text box i seen some use the console.writeline and it goes into the gui text box ill look into that after class.. unless someone wants to tell me i know it has to do with the writeline void.

A better way to do this would be to have it use a console, but hide the console so that it cant be visible and then on a separate thread start your GUI, that way the GUI's threading doesnt mess up the rest of the server.

This isnt hard to achieve the open source project has a semi finished map viewing dialog which is loaded from the console with a command currently.

question korvacs I left the threading and everything the way it was i just changed the console to windows to hide the console is this the right way? and of course i did the change to writeline so it will display on gui

No, by setting the project back to a windows forms application youve done the opposite of what i said, please use your initiative and google first next time:

public static void StartServer()
        {
            try
            {
                try
                {
                    // Put your code from the main statement in Program.cs here
                }
                catch (Exception e) { World.WriteLine(e.ToString()); }
            }
            catch (Exception EXC)
            {
                World.WriteLine(EXC);
            }
        }

My original code is split in half so it configures and loads the database, then starts the server threads. That's why there are two.

public static void StartServer()
        {
            try
            {
                try
                {
                    // Where the config file is read and maps start to load
                }
                catch (Exception e) { World.WriteLine(e.ToString()); }
                // server is loaded
            }
            catch (Exception EXC)
            {
                World.WriteLine(EXC);
            }
        }

I've gotten better since this source. This was just one of my less organized ones.
