Why don't you just have it run the console application instead? — Security Hound, Jul 16 '12 at 17:50
The real question is how do you run a command prompt within a command prompt application? — The Muffin Man, Jul 16 '12 at 17:57

Take a look at the System.Diagnostics.Process class. Start cmd with this class and redirect the Streams. Then you can draw a bitmap with a white font and show it to the user.

Anyway, like Ramhound i would directly show the command prompt.
