Hi, I just created a new project in vs2005, added a new form (empty form), cut and pasted some code over. When executing this form starts up a command prompt as well as a window, didn't use to do this in vs2003. Is there some new default property I need to change?

You may need to change the project type to Windows application. Go into the Project Propetries and change the "Object type" to Windows application. I have found so far that this Console application is the default and gets very annoying very fast.
