## Installing

Installing couldn't be easier, just use NuGet. You can search for 'ConsoleControl' or install directly.

For WinForms:

```

PM> Install-Package ConsoleControl

```

For WPF:

```

PM> Install-Package ConsoleControl.WPF

```

## Using ConsoleControl

Once you've installed the package, the ConsoleControl will be available in the toolbox. Add a ConsoleControl to your WPF or WinForms project and call `StartProcess` to start a new process. The process will run and all output will be directed to the ConsoleControl. You can also optionally enable input from the control.

## Developer Guide

To build, open the main `./source/ConsoleControl.sln` solution to build and run any of the code or samples.

You can also use the following scripts to run the processes:

| Script      | Notes                                     |

|-------------|-------------------------------------------|

| `build.ps1` | Build the solution from the command line. |

You can learn how the ConsoleControl was created by reading the article [Embedding a Console in a C# Application](http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/335909/Embedding-a-Console-in-a-C-Application) article on the CodeProject.

### Creating a Release

To create a release:

1. Update the version number in [`SharedAssemblyInfo.cs`](./source/SharedAssemblyInfo.cs)

2. Create a new version tag, then push `git push --follow-tags`

AppVeyor will build and publish a new NuGet package and as long as a new semver tag is pushed.
