Answer 1

This behaves the same for CtrlF5 or F5. Place immediately before end of Main method.

using System.Diagnostics;

private static void Main(string[] args) {

  DoWork();

  if (Debugger.IsAttached) {
    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue . . .");
    Console.ReadLine();
  }
}

Answer 2

Use Console.Read(); to prevent the program from closing, but make sure you add the Console.Read(); code before return statement, or else it will be a unreachable code .

    Console.Read(); 
    return 0; 

check this Console.Read

Answer 3

Add the following before the return 0:

system("PAUSE");  

This prints a line to hit a key to close the window. It will keep the window up until you hit the enter key. I have my students add it to all their programs.
