I have a Console Application, and when I do a "Start Without Debugging" to
test it, everything works, but it will not allow me to make the window wider
than half my screen. Even if I maximize it, it takes the full height, but
only half the width. This is very annoying, because sometimes lines are
longer than half the screen. Why is this, and is there any way to allow me
to make it take up the whole screen? Thanks.

Change the window properties to 132 columns. The width is probably maxed
out at 80 columns.

Right click on the console window's title bar and select properties. It
should be on the layout tab, shown as window size.

In addition to what Mike suggested, you can set the window Width and Height
of your Console at start up:
Console.WindowWidth = Console.LargestWindowWidth
Console.WindowHeight = Console.LargestWindowHeight
This will ensure that your Console takes up the whole working area and is
similar to what PowerShell does.

That trick ROCKS!
I altered slightly, to get 90%
Console.WindowWidth = (Console.LargestWindowWidth * 9 / 10);
Console.WindowHeight = (Console.LargestWindowHeight * 9 / 10);
Thanks!!

You should have tested your code dude:
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'int'. An explicit
conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
That's where I came up with the * 9 / 10 ...

Furthermore (I should have mentioned this in my last post), setting the
Console width and height will throw System.NotSupportedException on
non-Windows platforms, i.e., using Mono. Not sure what Microsoft's
Rotor does on non-Windows platforms, but I suspect it would do the same
thing since there is no way to change the terminal size without the
user doing it manually.
