Is it possible to create WPF window from a command prompt application?

for example I have a MainWindow WPF class with contains the main windows of my application. when I use the following code in my command prompt application I get this error: "The calling thread must be STA".

class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { MainWindow main = MainWindow(); main.Show(); } }

I really need to create the window in my command prompt application but i don't know if its possible. please guide me how to do this.

regards

You can correct that error by marking the Main method with a STAThreadAttribute. You will also need to start a message pump by calling Application.Run. For example: 

class Program { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { MainWindow main = new MainWindow(); main.Show(); new Application().Run(); } }
