Keeping an object alive in a Console application

It seemed pretty simple task... have a console application run as a service in the background, and do so on both .Net 2.0 and Compact Framework 2.0 ...

Well, I couldn't seem to find a good way apart from having an infinite while loop after my object, keeping it alive forever..

Tim Gerken (No link, but I'm pretty sure this guy) helped me out by suggesting I use the System.Threading.AutoResetEvent synchronization object, which will hold the current thread for me until which time I choose to release it.
