WPF form in a console app

Im running a console app that loads a dll and calls a method from that dll that creates a WPF form. So I'm just calling to Program.Execute() method and it does all the creation of the form. All reflection business goes well, but the form does not appear.

I've been told that this is because a console app does not have a windows message loop, but I'm sure there is a way to simulate that. For example, I tried playing with System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherFrame, but to no avail - the form still does not show up.

Did anyone else face this problem?

+2  A: 

Just call WPF's Application.Run(). Or Window.ShowDialog(), same thing. You will also have to apply the [STAThread] attribute on your Main() method.
