console project question

[Guest]

Is there any way to do that C# always writes in the same line of the console?

Console.SetCursorPosition method in .NET 2.0.

Not sure about 1.x though.

Is there any way to do that C# always writes in the same line of the
console?

Use a carriage return:

Console.Out.Write( "\r" + TextToWrite );

Cleaning the line for previous output is left as an exercise for the reader

sgr,

..NET 2.0 Console class has new method for controlling the caret position. I
believe you can use this to position the caret at the begining of the line
you want to rewrite. In 1.x thought this method doesn't exist, however you
can use the ASCII control symbols to move the caret. Originally these
symbols are meant to be used to control a printer devices, thus the names
doesn't fit well with the conception of the screen:
- CR (carriage return) - 0xD ('\r') moves the caret at the beginning of the
line
- LF (line feed) - 0xA ('\n') moves the caret on the next line (same column
thought); this is the reason microsoft used two characters for new line -
"\r\n"
- BS (backspace) - 0x8 ('\b') - move the caret one position ot the left
- HT (horizontal tab) 0x9 ('\t') - move the caret one tabulation on the
right.

You can use thought to control the caret position on the console window.

-- Fantastic! Does this mean that they've released the Microsoft Telepathy
API 1.0?
