How to start merged .NET application?

So, I use ILMerge to merge my .NET assemblies to one. Basically, the one .NET application is the core, the console and the other .NET application is a GUI, the front-end. Now, the GUI calls up the console-application and passes the arguments to it. Done. But now I merged my console-application into my GUI application. How would I now call my console-application, which is now merged with the GUI, in my GUI application code?

You would just call the Main method of the console code:

public class GuiApp
{
    public void WhenYouWantToCallTheConsole()
    {
        // Probably in a different thread...
        ConsoleApp.Main(...);
    }
}

public class ConsoleApp
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ...
    }
}

Of course, this will run the console app in the same process - whereas previously presumably you started it as a separate process. In many cases this is fine, but you need to be aware of it as a difference.
