You cannot display a bitmap/image
in a Console Window: the Console is Text only. Good summary here of what you can, and can't do with a Console Window: [

You can do this:
0. reference System.Drawing in a Console app, and create graphics, and save them to a file, or open a grahics file and modify its bits and save it, etc.
1. display Unicode extended characters in the Console Window, some of which are kind-of graphics
2. drive yourself crazy trying to make art of characters
3. display a Console Window in, or along with, a Windows Forms application, and use the WinForm app to display the bitmap/image in the usual way.
I explored this in 2009, using code on this post on StackOverFlow: [

And I asked a question based on my experience adapting that code: [

Turned out to be tricky stuff, getting the Window and Console working together, positioned correctly, etc.
