I'm messing about with a console app that does some tedious data
processing, I want to show activity in the console window.
What I wanted was -
followed by \
followed by |
etc;
ie a bar revolving on the spot
console.write advances the character position by one though
Can I send a backspace through? (Have tried .write(8) .write 0x08
which is ascii BS but it keeps printing the number...)

I've done the same exact thing before. It was a while ago, but I think
I moved the cursor back by using the Console.CursorL eft method.
To elaborate, before you start drawing your spinning cursor, you will
want to store the location of the cursor using the static CursorLeft and
CursorTop properties on the Console class.
After you write your character, you will want to call the static
SetCursorPositi on method on the Console class, setting the location to the
values you obtained before, and then write your character again.

You can cast a number to char. So it would be:
..Write((char)8 )
This would write a backspace to the console, though I don't know the exact
effect of this on the console. You will have to try ;)
You also can use character escapes: \b is backspace IIRC.
So '\b' means a backspace char, and "\b" would be a string with a single
backspace character.

Luvverly, and lots more ascii graphics tools to play with too.

It works fine. I suppose "\b" is theoretically more portable though.
using System.Threadin g;
....
while (true) foreach (char ch in new char[] { '|', '\\', '-', '/' })
{
Console.Write(c h + "\b");
Thread.Sleep(10 0);
}

Hi...
I'm trying to find some code samples that will show me how to capture
non-character keypresses in a console app. I've tried the standard stuff,
such as console.read and console.readline, and I've tried ConsoleEx which
does a great job, but still doesn't handle non-character keys like CTRL and
the arrow keys.
I've read the character mode apps page on MSDN, and couldn't really make
much sense out of it.

I need a library which can afford "cisco" console or "juniper" console

You can type command you defined and execute the "handler".

Hello!
When you have windows forms you have the same possibility as when you have a
Console application
to use Console.Writeln to write whatever on the screen.
Now to my question:
Is it possible to use Console.Writeln when you have a Webservice. I don't
think it's possible but
just to be sure I ask you?

Hi,
I don't know why this question is so hard to have an answer ? I search
Google for
a while ... and can't find any "good" answer. Using "throw new
Error(msg)" does
work ... but I believe most people asking this question is try to find
method similar to
'printf()' instead of exception which may stop the script.

Dear all,
I'd like to know if there is any method to minimize command mode window when
a console program is running. In my case, there are several console programs
which run periodically in server. Now, every console program instance will
open a command mode window and they occupy the whole screen. I want to
minimize all of them and maximize it if neccessary by manual. Is it possible
and how to do it? I'm using VB.NET 2005.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
