COncept of Methods

A console application is a program designed to perform action via text based interface,

such as a text terminal, the command line interface of some operating systems (Unix, DOS, etc.)or Win32 console in Microsoft Windows.

Uses:

You can use console application to run a scheduler. Follow below link:

For testing: Let's say you are working on a project which has only Class library and you want to test some logic.

Create a console application and add the class library as reference. Then call respective method to test it.

For data processing tasks and computer administration, these programming environments represent the next level of operating system or data processing control after scripting.

If an application is only going to be run by the original programmer and/or a few colleagues,

there may be no need for a pretty graphical user interface,leaving the application leaner, faster and easier to maintain.
