## Remarks
 A change to the <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> property affects only output that is written to individual character cells after the background color is changed. To change the background color of the console window as a whole, set the <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> property and call the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method. The following example provides an illustration.

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/BackgroundColor/backgroundcolor1.cs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.console.backgroundcolor/fs/backgroundcolor1.fs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/BackgroundColor/backgroundcolor1.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 A get operation for a Windows-based application, in which a console does not exist, returns <xref:System.ConsoleColor.Black?displayProperty=nameWithType>.
 Unix systems don't provide any general mechanism to fetch the current console colors. Because of that, <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> returns `(ConsoleColor)-1` until it is set in explicit way (using the setter).


## Examples
 The following example saves the values of the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration to an array and stores the current values of the <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> and <xref:System.Console.ForegroundColor%2A> properties to variables. It then changes the foreground color to each color in the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration except to the color that matches the current background, and it changes the background color to each color in the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration except to the color that matches the current foreground. (If the foreground color is the same as the background color, the text isn't visible.) Finally, it calls the <xref:System.Console.ResetColor%2A> method to restore the original console colors.

## Remarks
 By default, the beep plays at a frequency of 800 hertz for a duration of 200 milliseconds.

 <xref:System.Console.Beep%2A> wraps a call to the Windows [Beep function](/windows/win32/api/utilapiset/nf-utilapiset-beep). Whether <xref:System.Console.Beep%2A> produces a sound on versions of Windows before Windows 7 depends on the presence of a 8254 programmable interval timer chip. Starting with Windows 7, it depends on the default sound device.

## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.Beep%2A> method. The example accepts a number from 1 through 9 as a command line argument, and plays the beep that number of times.

## Remarks
 <xref:System.Console.Beep%2A> wraps a call to the Windows [Beep function](/windows/win32/api/utilapiset/nf-utilapiset-beep). Whether <xref:System.Console.Beep%2A> produces a sound on versions of Windows before Windows 7 depends on the presence of a 8254 programmable interval timer chip. Starting with Windows 7, it depends on the default sound device.


## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.Beep%2A> method by playing the first few notes of a song through the console speaker.

## Remarks
 This property defines the number of rows (or lines) stored in the buffer that is accessed by a console mode window. In contrast, the <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> property defines the number of rows that are actually displayed in the console window at any particular time. If the number of rows actually written to the buffer exceeds the number of rows defined by the <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> property, the window can be scrolled vertically so that it displays a contiguous number of rows that are equal to the <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> property and are located anywhere in the buffer.

 If a set operation decreases the value of the <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A> property, the uppermost lines are removed. For example, if the number of lines is reduced from 300 to 250, lines 0 through 49 are removed, and the existing lines 50 through 299 become lines 0 through 249.


## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A> and <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A> properties. The example reports the dimensions of an operating system window set to a buffer size of 300 rows and 85 columns.

 This event is used in conjunction with <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventHandler?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs?displayProperty=nameWithType>. The <xref:System.Console.CancelKeyPress> event enables a console application to intercept the Ctrl+C signal so the event handler can decide whether to continue executing or terminate. For more information about handling events, see [Handling and Raising Events](/dotnet/standard/events/).

 When the user presses either Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break, the <xref:System.Console.CancelKeyPress> event is fired and the application's <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventHandler> event handler is executed. The event handler is passed a <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs> object that has two useful properties:

-   <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs.SpecialKey%2A>, which allows you to determine whether the handler was invoked as a result of the user pressing Ctrl+C (the property value is <xref:System.ConsoleSpecialKey.ControlC?displayProperty=nameWithType>) or Ctrl+Break (the property value is <xref:System.ConsoleSpecialKey.ControlBreak?displayProperty=nameWithType>).

-   <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs.Cancel%2A>, which allows you to determine how your application should respond to the user pressing Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break. By default, the <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs.Cancel%2A> property is `false`, which causes program execution to terminate when the event handler exits. Changing its property to `true` specifies that the application should continue to execute.

> [!TIP]
>  If your application has simple requirements, you can use the <xref:System.Console.TreatControlCAsInput%2A> property instead of this event. By setting this property to `false`, you can ensure that your application always exits if the user presses Ctrl+C. By setting it to `true`, you can ensure that pressing Ctrl+C will not terminate the application.

 The event handler for this event is executed on a thread pool thread.


## Examples
 The following example demonstrates how the <xref:System.Console.CancelKeyPress> event is used. When you press Ctrl+C, the read operation is interrupted and the `myHandler` event handler is invoked. Upon entry to the event handler, the <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs.Cancel%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property is `false`, which means that the current process will terminate when the event handler terminates. However, the event handler sets the <xref:System.ConsoleCancelEventArgs.Cancel%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property to `true`, which means that the process will not terminate and the read operation will resume.

        <summary>Clears the console buffer and corresponding console window of display information.</summary>
        <remarks>
          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[

## Remarks
 Using the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method is equivalent invoking the MS-DOS `cls` command in the command prompt window. When the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method is called, the cursor automatically scrolls to the top-left corner of the window and the contents of the screen buffer are set to blanks using the current foreground background colors.

> [!NOTE]
>  Attempting to call the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method when a console application's output is redirected to a file throws a <xref:System.IO.IOException>. To prevent this, always wrap a call to the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method in a `try`…`catch` block.


## Examples
 The following example uses the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method to clear the console before it executes a loop, prompts the user to select a foreground and background color and to enter a string to display. If the user chooses not to exit the program, the console's original foreground and background colors are restored and the <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> method is called again before re-executing the loop.

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/Clear/clear1.cs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.console.clear/fs/clear1.fs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/Clear/clear1.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 The example relies on a `GetKeyPress` method to validate the user's selection of a foreground and background color.

 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.CursorLeft%2A> and <xref:System.Console.CursorTop%2A> properties, and the <xref:System.Console.SetCursorPosition%2A> and <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> methods. The example positions the cursor, which determines where the next write will occur, to draw a 5 character by 5 character rectangle using a combination of "+", "&#124;", and "-" strings. Note that the rectangle could be drawn with fewer steps using a combination of other strings.

        <value>The size of the cursor expressed as a percentage of the height of a character cell. The property value ranges from 1 to 100.</value>
        <remarks>

## Remarks
 The cursor appearance varies, ranging from a horizontal line at the bottom of the cell when the property value is 1, to completely filling the cell when the property value is 100.


## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.CursorSize%2A> property. The example increases the size of the cursor each time any console key is pressed, then restores the cursor to its original size before terminating.

## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.CursorLeft%2A> and <xref:System.Console.CursorTop%2A> properties, and the <xref:System.Console.SetCursorPosition%2A> and <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> methods. The example positions the cursor, which determines where the next write will occur, to draw a 5 character by 5 character rectangle using a combination of "+", "&#124;", and "-" strings. Note that the rectangle could be drawn with fewer steps using a combination of other strings.

        <summary>Gets the standard error output stream.</summary>
        <value>A <see cref="T:System.IO.TextWriter" /> that represents the standard error output stream.</value>
        <remarks>
          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[

## Remarks
 This standard error stream is set to the console by default. It can be set to another stream with the <xref:System.Console.SetError%2A> method. After the standard error stream is redirected, it can be reacquired by calling the <xref:System.Console.OpenStandardError%2A> method.

 In console applications whose informational output is often redirected to a file, the standard error stream available through the <xref:System.Console.Error%2A> property can be used to display information to the console even if output is redirected. The following example displays product tables for 10 numbers at a time starting with 1. After every set of 10 numbers, the <xref:System.Console.Error%2A> property is used to ask the user whether to display the next set. If the standard output is redirected to a file, the user is still asked whether the routine should generate the next set of products.

 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/Error/error1.vb" id="Snippet1":::


## Examples
 The following example is a command line utility named ExpandTabs that replaces tab characters in a text file with four spaces, the value defined by the `tabSize` variable. It redirects the standard input and output streams to files, but uses the <xref:System.Console.Error%2A> property to write the standard error stream to the console. It can be launched from the command line by supplying the name of the file that contains tab characters and the name of the output file.

 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR/Console-EXPANDTABSEX/FS/expandtabsex.fs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/Error/expandtabsex.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 The following example is a simple text file viewer that displays the contents of one or more text files to the console. If there are no command line arguments, or if any files passed as command line arguments do not exist, the example calls the <xref:System.Console.SetError%2A> method to redirect error information to a file, calls the <xref:System.Console.OpenStandardError%2A> method in the process of reacquiring the standard error stream, and indicates that error information was written to a file.

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/Error/viewtextfile.cs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.console.openstandarderror/fs/viewtextfile.fs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/Error/viewtextfile.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 Note that the <xref:System.IO.StreamWriter.AutoFlush%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property is set to `true` before reacquiring the error stream. This ensures that output will be sent to the console immediately rather than buffered.

## Remarks
 A get operation for a Windows-based application, in which a console does not exist, returns <xref:System.ConsoleColor.Gray>.
  Unix systems don't provide any general mechanism to fetch the current console colors. Because of that, <xref:System.Console.ForegroundColor%2A> returns `(ConsoleColor)-1` until it is set in explicit way (using the setter).


## Examples
 The following example checks whether the console's background color is black and, if it is, it changes the background color to red and the foreground color to black.

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/BackgroundColor/Example2.cs" id="Snippet2":::
 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.consolecolor/fs/Example2.fs" id="Snippet2":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/BackgroundColor/Example2.vb" id="Snippet2":::

 The following example saves the values of the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration to an array and stores the current values of the <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> and <xref:System.Console.ForegroundColor%2A> properties to variables. It then changes the foreground color to each color in the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration except to the color that matches the current background, and it changes the background color to each color in the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration except to the color that matches the current foreground. (If the foreground color is the same as the background color, the text isn't visible.) Finally, it calls the <xref:System.Console.ResetColor%2A> method to restore the original console colors.

## Remarks
 This property is set to the standard input stream by default. This property can be set to another stream with the <xref:System.Console.SetIn%2A> method.

 Read operations on the standard input stream execute synchronously. That is, they block until the specified read operation has completed. This is true even if an asynchronous method, such as <xref:System.IO.TextReader.ReadLineAsync%2A>, is called on the <xref:System.IO.TextReader> object returned by the <xref:System.Console.In%2A> property.


## Examples
 The following sample illustrates the use of the `In` property.

## Remarks
 The console uses the input encoding to translate keyboard input into a corresponding character. The input encoding incorporates a code page that maps 256 keyboard character codes to individual characters. Different code pages include different special characters, typically customized for a language or a group of languages.

 Starting with the .NET Framework 4, a property get operation may return a cached value instead of the console's current input encoding. This can occur if the value of the <xref:System.Console.InputEncoding%2A> property is modified by some means other than an assignment to the <xref:System.Console.InputEncoding%2A> property, such as calling the Windows `SetConsoleCP` function or using the `chcp` command from a PowerShell script.

## Remarks
 The property value is returned immediately; that is, the <xref:System.Console.KeyAvailable%2A> property does not block input until a key press is available.

 Use the <xref:System.Console.KeyAvailable%2A> property in conjunction with only the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method, not the <xref:System.Console.Read%2A> or <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> methods.


## Examples
 The following example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Console.KeyAvailable%2A> property to create a loop that runs until a key is pressed.

## Remarks
 If the destination and source parameters specify a position located outside the boundaries of the current screen buffer, only the portion of the source area that fits within the destination area is copied. That is, the source area is clipped to fit the current screen buffer.

 The <xref:System.Console.MoveBufferArea%2A> method copies the source area to the destination area. If the destination area does not intersect the source area, the source area is filled with blanks using the current foreground and background colors. Otherwise, the intersected portion of the source area is not filled.

## Remarks
 This method can be used to reacquire the standard error stream after it has been changed by the <xref:System.Console.SetError%2A> method.


## Examples
 The following example is a simple text file viewer that displays the contents of one or more text files to the console. If there are no command line arguments, or if any files passed as command line arguments do not exist, the example calls the <xref:System.Console.SetError%2A> method to redirect error information to a file, calls the <xref:System.Console.OpenStandardError%2A> method in the process of reacquiring the standard error stream, and indicates that error information was written to a file.

 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/Error/viewtextfile.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 Note that the <xref:System.IO.StreamWriter.AutoFlush%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property is set to `true` before reacquiring the error stream. This ensures that output will be sent to the console immediately rather than buffered.

## Remarks
 This method can be used to reacquire the standard output stream after it has been changed by the <xref:System.Console.SetOut%2A> method.


## Examples
 The following example illustrates the use of the <xref:System.Console.OpenStandardOutput%2A> method. It replaces four consecutive space characters in a string with a tab character. To run it, you must supply two command-line arguments. The first is the name of an existing text file to redirect the standard input stream to. The second is the name of a file to redirect the standard output stream to. This file need not exist. If it does, its contents will be overwritten.

## Remarks
 This method can be used to reacquire the standard output stream after it has been changed by the <xref:System.Console.SetOut%2A> method.


## Examples
 The following example illustrates the use of the <xref:System.Console.OpenStandardOutput%2A> method. It replaces four consecutive space characters in a string with a tab character. To run it, you must supply two command line arguments. The first is the name of an existing text file to redirect the standard input stream to. The second is the name of a file to redirect the standard output stream to. This file need not exist. If it does, its contents will be overwritten.

## Remarks
 This property is set to the standard output stream by default. This property can be set to another stream with the <xref:System.Console.SetOut%2A> method.

 Note that calls to `Console.Out.WriteLine` methods are equivalent to calls to the corresponding <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A> methods.


## Examples
 The following example uses the <xref:System.Console.Out%2A> property to display an array containing the names of files in the application's current directory to the standard output device. It then sets the standard output to a file named Files.txt and lists the array elements to the file. Finally, it sets the output to the standard output stream and again displays the array elements to the standard output device.

## Remarks
 The console uses the output encoding to translate characters written by an application into corresponding console display characters. The default code page that the console uses is determined by the system locale.

 Starting with the .NET Framework 4, a property get operation may return a cached value instead of the console's current output encoding. This can occur if the value of the <xref:System.Console.OutputEncoding%2A> property is modified by some means other than an assignment to the <xref:System.Console.OutputEncoding%2A> property, such as calling the Windows `SetConsoleOutputCP` function.

          <para>Of the Unicode encodings, the <see cref="T:System.Console" /> class supports UTF-8 encoding with the <see cref="T:System.Text.UTF8Encoding" /> class and, starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, it supports UTF-16 encoding with the <see cref="T:System.Text.UnicodeEncoding" /> class. UTF-32 encoding with the <see cref="T:System.Text.UTF32Encoding" /> class is not supported. Attempting to set the output encoding to UTF-32 throws an <see cref="T:System.IO.IOException" />.

 Note that successfully displaying Unicode characters to the console requires the following:

- The console must use a TrueType font, such as Lucida Console or Consolas, to display characters.

- A font used by the console must define the particular glyph or glyphs to be displayed. The console can take advantage of font linking to display glyphs from linked fonts if the base font does not contain a definition for that glyph.

 For more information about support for Unicode encoding by the console, see the "Unicode Support for the Console" section in the <see cref="T:System.Console" /> class.</para>

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Console.Read%2A> method blocks its return while you type input characters; it terminates when you press the <xref:System.ConsoleKey.Enter> key. Pressing Enter appends a platform-dependent line termination sequence to your input (for example, Windows appends a carriage return-linefeed sequence). Subsequent calls to the <xref:System.Console.Read%2A> method retrieve your input one character at a time. After the final character is retrieved, <xref:System.Console.Read%2A> blocks its return again and the cycle repeats.

> [!IMPORTANT]
>  The <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method, or the <xref:System.Console.KeyAvailable%2A> property and <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method are preferable to using the <xref:System.Console.Read%2A> method.

 Note that the method does not return -1 unless you perform one of the following actions:

- Simultaneously press the <xref:System.ConsoleModifiers.Control> modifier key and <xref:System.ConsoleKey.Z> console key (Ctrl+Z), which signals the end-of-file condition. If you're on Windows, you must also press the <xref:System.ConsoleKey.Enter> console key.

- Press an equivalent key that signals the end-of-file condition, such as the F6 function key in Windows.

- Redirect the input stream to a source, such as a text file, that has an actual end-of-file character.

## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.Read%2A> method.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method waits, that is, blocks on the thread issuing the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method, until a character or function key is pressed. A character or function key can be pressed in combination with one or more Alt, Ctrl, or Shift modifier keys. However, pressing a modifier key by itself will not cause the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method to return.

 Depending on your application, you might want to use the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method in conjunction with the <xref:System.Console.KeyAvailable%2A> property.

 The <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method reads from the keyboard even if the standard input is redirected to a file with the <xref:System.Console.SetIn%2A> method.

## Examples
 One of the most common uses of the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey> method is to halt program execution until the user presses a key and the app either terminates or displays an additional window of information. The following example uses the  <xref:System.Console.ReadKey> method to wait for the user to press the Enter key before terminating the app.

 Note that this overload of the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method by default echoes any displayable keys that the user presses to the console. To suppress them, call the  <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method with an `intercept` argument of `true`.

 The following example uses the <xref:System.Console.ReadKey> method to display information about which key the user pressed.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method reads a line from the standard input stream. (For the definition of a line, see the paragraph after the following list.) This means that:

- If the standard input device is the keyboard, the <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method blocks until the user presses the **Enter** key.

     One of the most common uses of the <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method is to pause program execution before clearing the console and displaying new information to it, or to prompt the user to press the Enter key before terminating the application. The following example illustrates this.

     :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/ReadLine/ReadLineSimple.cs" id="Snippet6":::
     :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.Console.ReadLine/fs/ReadLineSimple.fs" id="Snippet6":::
     :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/ReadLine/ReadLineSimple.vb" id="Snippet6":::

- If standard input is redirected to a file, the <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method reads a line of text from a file. For example, the following is a text file named ReadLine1.txt:

    ```

    This is the first line.
    This is the second line.
    This is the third line.
    This is the fourth line.

    ```

     The following example uses the <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method to read input that is redirected from a file. The read operation terminates when the method returns `null`, which indicates that no lines remain to be read.

     :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/ReadLine/ReadLine3.cs" id="Snippet3":::
     :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.Console.ReadLine/fs/ReadLine3.fs" id="Snippet3":::
     :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/ReadLine/ReadLine3.vb" id="Snippet3":::

     After compiling the example to an executable named ReadLine1.exe, you can run it from the command line to read the contents of the file and display them to the console. The syntax is:

    ```
    ReadLine1 < ReadLine1.txt
    ```

 A line is defined as a sequence of characters followed by a carriage return (hexadecimal 0x000d), a line feed (hexadecimal 0x000a), or the value of the <xref:System.Environment.NewLine%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property. The returned string does not contain the terminating character(s). By default, the method reads input from a 256-character input buffer. Because this includes the <xref:System.Environment.NewLine%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> character(s), the method can read lines that contain up to 254 characters. To read longer lines, call the <xref:System.Console.OpenStandardInput%28System.Int32%29> method.

 The <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method executes synchronously. That is, it blocks until a line is read or the <kbd>Ctrl+Z</kbd> keyboard combination (followed by <kbd>Enter</kbd> on Windows), is pressed. The <xref:System.Console.In%2A> property returns a <xref:System.IO.TextReader> object that represents the standard input stream and that has both a synchronous <xref:System.IO.TextReader.ReadLine%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method and an asynchronous <xref:System.IO.TextReader.ReadLineAsync%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method. However, when used as the console's standard input stream, the <xref:System.IO.TextReader.ReadLineAsync%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> executes synchronously rather than asynchronously and returns a `Task<String>` only after the read operation has completed.

 If this method throws an <xref:System.OutOfMemoryException> exception, the reader's position in the underlying <xref:System.IO.Stream> object is advanced by the number of characters the method was able to read, but the characters already read into the internal <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> buffer are discarded. Since the position of the reader in the stream cannot be changed, the characters already read are unrecoverable, and can be accessed only by reinitializing the <xref:System.IO.TextReader>. If the initial position within the stream is unknown or the stream does not support seeking, the underlying <xref:System.IO.Stream> also needs to be reinitialized. To avoid such a situation and to produce robust code, you should use the <xref:System.Console.KeyAvailable%2A> property and <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> method and store the read characters in a pre-allocated buffer.

 If the <kbd>Ctrl+Z</kbd> key combination (followed by <kbd>Enter</kbd> on Windows) is pressed when the method is reading input from the console, the method returns `null`. This enables the user to prevent further keyboard input when the <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A> method is called in a loop. The following example illustrates this scenario.

 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/ReadLine/ReadLine2.vb" id="Snippet1":::

## Examples
 The following example requires two command line arguments: the name of an existing text file, and the name of a file to write the output to. It opens the existing text file and redirects the standard input from the keyboard to that file. It also redirects the standard output from the console to the output file. It then uses the <xref:System.Console.ReadLine%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to read each line in the file, replaces every sequence of four spaces with a tab character, and uses the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to write the result to the output file.

        <summary>Sets the foreground and background console colors to their defaults.</summary>
        <remarks>
          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[

## Remarks
 The foreground and background colors are restored to the colors that existed when the current process began. For more information, see the <xref:System.Console.ForegroundColor%2A> and <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> properties.


## Examples
 The following example saves the values of the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration to an array and stores the current values of the <xref:System.Console.BackgroundColor%2A> and <xref:System.Console.ForegroundColor%2A> properties to variables. It then changes the foreground color to each color in the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration except to the color that matches the current background, and it changes the background color to each color in the <xref:System.ConsoleColor> enumeration except to the color that matches the current foreground. (If the foreground color is the same as the background color, the text isn't visible.) Finally, it calls the <xref:System.Console.ResetColor%2A> method to restore the original console colors.

## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowTop%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A>, <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A>, <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A>, and <xref:System.Console.CursorVisible%2A> properties; and the <xref:System.Console.SetWindowPosition%2A>, <xref:System.Console.SetBufferSize%2A>, and <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> methods. The example draws a grid pattern in the screen buffer based on the screen buffer width. Then the example moves the console window in response to which of the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, or RIGHT ARROW console keys is pressed. The grid pattern helps you see the movement of the console window relative to the screen buffer.

## Remarks
 Use the <xref:System.Console.SetCursorPosition%2A> method to specify where the next write operation in the console window is to begin. If the specified cursor position is outside the area that is currently visible in the console window, the window origin changes automatically to make the cursor visible.

 The cursor automatically moves to the next character position each time a character is written to the console window. If the cursor is at the bottom right character position of the console window, the next write operation causes the console window to scroll so the cursor remains visible. If you want to write a character to the bottom right character position without causing the console window to scroll, use the <xref:System.Console.MoveBufferArea%2A> method to move a character to that position.


## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.CursorLeft%2A> and <xref:System.Console.CursorTop%2A> properties, and the <xref:System.Console.SetCursorPosition%2A> and <xref:System.Console.Clear%2A> methods. The example positions the cursor, which determines where the next write will occur, to draw a 5 character by 5 character rectangle using a combination of "+", "&#124;", and "-" strings. Note that the rectangle could be drawn with fewer steps using a combination of other strings.

## Remarks
 By default, the <xref:System.Console.Error%2A> property is set to the standard error output stream.

 A <xref:System.IO.StreamWriter> that encapsulates a <xref:System.IO.FileStream> can be used to send error messages to a file.


## Examples
 The following example shows how to redirect the standard error stream to a file.

## Remarks
 By default, the <xref:System.Console.In%2A> property is set to the standard input stream.

 A <xref:System.IO.StreamReader> that encapsulates a <xref:System.IO.FileStream> can be used to receive input from a file.


## Examples
 The following example illustrates the use of the <xref:System.Console.SetIn%2A> method. It replaces four consecutive space characters in a string with a tab character. To run it, you must supply two command line arguments. The first is the name of an existing text file to redirect the standard input stream to. The second is the name of a file to redirect the standard output stream to. This file need not exist. If it does, its contents will be overwritten.

## Remarks
 By default, the <xref:System.Console.Out%2A> property is set to the standard output stream.

 A <xref:System.IO.StreamWriter> that encapsulates a <xref:System.IO.FileStream> can be used to send output to a file. For example:

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/SetOut/source.cs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.console.setout/fs/source.fs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/SetOut/source.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 The actual object returned by <xref:System.Console.Out%2A> may be a synchronized wrapper around the provided text writer.

## Examples
 The following example illustrates the use of the <xref:System.Console.SetOut%2A> method. It replaces four consecutive space characters in a string with a tab character. To run it, you must supply two command line arguments. The first is the name of an existing text file to redirect the standard input stream to.

## Remarks
 The operating system window displays the console window, and the console window displays a portion of the screen buffer. The <xref:System.Console.SetWindowPosition%2A> method affects the position of the console window relative to the screen buffer, but does not affect the position of the operating system window relative to the desktop.

 The console and operating system windows generally do not affect each other. However, if the screen buffer cannot be displayed in the current boundaries of the console window, the operating system automatically appends scroll bars to the operating system window. In that case, moving the operating system window scroll bars affects the position of the console window, and moving the console window with the <xref:System.Console.SetWindowPosition%2A> method affects the position of the operating system window scroll bars.


## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowTop%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A>, <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A>, <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A>, and <xref:System.Console.CursorVisible%2A> properties; and the <xref:System.Console.SetWindowPosition%2A>, <xref:System.Console.SetBufferSize%2A>, and <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> methods. The example draws a grid pattern in the screen buffer based on the screen buffer width. Then the example moves the console window in response to which of the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, or RIGHT ARROW console keys is pressed. The grid pattern helps you see the movement of the console window relative to the screen buffer.

## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.SetWindowSize%2A> method, and the <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A> and <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> properties. You must run the example to see the full effect of changing the console window size.

 The example reports the dimensions of a console window set to 85 columns and 43 rows, then waits for a key to be pressed. When any key is pressed, the dimensions of the console window are halved, the new dimensions are reported, and the example waits for another key press. Finally, when any key is pressed, the console window is restored to its original dimensions and the example terminates.

## Remarks
 If the value of the <xref:System.Console.TreatControlCAsInput%2A> property is `false` and Ctrl+C is pressed, the pressed keys are not stored in the input buffer and the operating system terminates the currently executing process. This is the default value.

> [!CAUTION]
>  Use this property judiciously because setting it to `true` has such a dramatic effect. Most users expect Ctrl+C to terminate a console application. If you disable the effect of Ctrl+C, the user must remember to use Ctrl+Break to terminate the application, which is a less familiar key combination.


## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.TreatControlCAsInput%2A> property.

To prevent an exception, you can set the value of this property only if the <xref:System.Console.IsOutputRedirected%2A> property returns `false`.


## Examples
 This example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.SetWindowSize%2A> method, and the <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A> and <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> properties. You must run the example to see the full effect of changing the console window size.

 The example reports the dimensions of a console window set to 85 columns and 43 rows, then waits for a key press. When any key is pressed, the dimensions of the console window are halved, the new dimensions are reported, and the example waits for another key press. Finally, when any key is pressed the console window is restored to its original dimensions and the example terminates.

## Remarks
 The console represents a rectangular window into a larger rectangular buffer area. Both the window and the buffer are measured vertically by their number of rows and horizontally by their number of columns. The dimensions of the buffer area are defined by the <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A> and <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A> properties. The dimensions of the console area are defined by the <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> and <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A> properties. The <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property determines which column of the buffer area is displayed in the first column of the console window. The value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property can range from 0 to <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A> - <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A>. Attempting to set it to a value outside that range throws an <xref:System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException>.

 When a console window first opens, the default value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property is zero, which indicates that the first column shown by the console corresponds to the first column (the column at position zero) in the buffer area. The default width of both the console window and the buffer area is 80 columns. This means that the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property can be modified only if the console window is made narrower or the buffer area is made wider.

 Note that if the width of the buffer area exceeds the width of the console window, the value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property is automatically adjusted when the user uses the horizontal scroll bar to define the window's relationship to the buffer area.

 Attempting to set the value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property when output is redirected throws an <xref:System.IO.IOException> exception. To prevent the exception, you can set the value of this property only if the <xref:System.Console.IsOutputRedirected%2A> property returns `false`.


## Examples
 The following example opens an 80-column console window and defines a buffer area that is 120 columns wide. It displays information on window and buffer size, and then waits for the user to press either the LEFT ARROW key or the RIGHT ARROW key. In the former case, it decrements the value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property by one if the result is a legal value. In the latter case, it increases the value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property by one if the result would be legal. Note that the example does not have to handle an <xref:System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException>, because it checks that the value to be assigned to the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> property is not negative and does not cause the sum of the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A> and <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A> properties to exceed the <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A> property value.

## Remarks
 The console represents a rectangular window into a larger rectangular buffer area. Both the window and the buffer are measured vertically by their number of rows and horizontally by their number of columns. The dimensions of the buffer area are defined by the <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A> and <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A> properties. The dimensions of the console area are defined by the <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A> and <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A> properties. The <xref:System.Console.WindowTop%2A> property determines which row of the buffer area is displayed in the first column of the console window. The value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowTop%2A> property can range from 0 to <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A> - <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A>. Attempting to set it to a value outside that range throws an <xref:System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException>.

 Attempting to set the value of the <xref:System.Console.WindowTop%2A> property when output is redirected throws an <xref:System.IO.IOException> exception. To prevent the exception, you can set the value of this property only if the <xref:System.Console.IsOutputRedirected%2A> property returns `false`.


## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.Console.WindowLeft%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowTop%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A>, <xref:System.Console.WindowHeight%2A>, <xref:System.Console.BufferWidth%2A>, <xref:System.Console.BufferHeight%2A>, and <xref:System.Console.CursorVisible%2A> properties; and the <xref:System.Console.SetWindowPosition%2A>, <xref:System.Console.SetBufferSize%2A>, and <xref:System.Console.ReadKey%2A> methods. The example draws a grid pattern in the screen buffer based on the screen buffer width. Then the example moves the console window in response to which of the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, or RIGHT ARROW console keys is pressed. The grid pattern helps you see the movement of the console window relative to the screen buffer.

 The example reports the dimensions of a console window set to 85 columns and 43 rows, then waits for a key press. When any key is pressed, the dimensions of the console window are halved, the new dimensions are reported, and the example waits for another key press. Finally, when any key is pressed the console window is restored to its original dimensions and the example terminates.

## Remarks
 The text representation of `value` is produced by calling <xref:System.Boolean.ToString%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>, which outputs either <xref:System.Boolean.TrueString?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:System.Boolean.FalseString?displayProperty=nameWithType>.


## Examples
 The following example illustrates the use of the `Write` method.

## Remarks
 If `value` is `null`, nothing is written and no exception is thrown. Otherwise, the `ToString` method of `value` is called to produce its string representation, and the resulting string is written to the standard output stream.


## Examples
 The following example illustrates the use of the `Write` method.

## Remarks
 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of the .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

- For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as <xref:System.String.Format%2A>, <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat%2A>, and some overloads of <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A>, see [Composite Formatting](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting).

## Remarks
 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

- For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as <xref:System.String.Format%2A>, <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat%2A>, and some overloads of <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A>, see [Composite Formatting](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting).

- For more information about numeric format specifiers, see [Standard Numeric Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings) and [Custom Numeric Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings).

- For more information about date and time format specifiers, see [Standard Date and Time Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings) and [Custom Date and Time Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings).

- For more information about enumeration format specifiers, see [Enumeration Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/enumeration-format-strings).

- For more information about formatting, see [Formatting Types](/dotnet/standard/base-types/formatting-types).

 The `arg` parameter is a parameter array. Arguments  can be passed to the method either as an array or as list of five or more items. The examples illustrate both forms of method call.


## Examples
 The following example defines a `Person` class with a number of properties that provide information about a person. Its `GetDescription` method returns an array that contains all of the property values except one. The example then uses the array returned by the  `GetDescription` method  to display the values of the Person object.

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/Console/Write/WriteParams1.cs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/VS_Snippets_CLR_System/system.console.write/fs/WriteParams1.fs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/Console/Write/WriteParams1.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 Note that the example calls the <xref:System.Console.Write%28System.String%2CSystem.Object%5B%5D%29> method rather than the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%2CSystem.Object%5B%5D%29> method because it attempts to display the value of the `Person.Remarks` property on the same line. To do this, it examines the value of the <xref:System.Console.CursorLeft%2A> and <xref:System.Console.WindowWidth%2A> properties to determine whether there is enough space for the remark to fit.  If there is, it displays the line. If not, it writes a line, indents three spaces, and displays the remark.

 The following example is identical to the first, except that it supplies a five-item list as the `arg` argument instead of a parameter array.

## Remarks
 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

- For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as <xref:System.String.Format%2A>, <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat%2A>, and some overloads of <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A>, see [Composite Formatting](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting).

## Remarks
 The default line terminator is a string whose value is a carriage return followed by a line feed ("\r\n" in C#, or `vbCrLf` in Visual Basic). You can change the line terminator by setting the <xref:System.IO.TextWriter.NewLine%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property of the <xref:System.Console.Out%2A> property to another string. The example provides an illustration.


## Examples
 The example changes the line terminator from its default value of "\r\n" or `vbCrLf` to "\r\n\r\n" or `vbCrLf` + `vbCrLf`. It then calls the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine> and <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%29> methods to display output to the console.

## Remarks
 If `value` is `null`, only the line terminator is written. Otherwise, the `ToString` method of `value` is called to produce its string representation, and the resulting string is written to the standard output stream.

 For more information about the line terminator, see the Remarks section of the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A> method that takes no parameters.


## Examples
 The following example uses the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.Object%29> method to display each value in an object array to the console.

## Remarks
 If value is `null`, only the line terminator is written to the standard output stream.

 For more information about the line terminator, see the Remarks section of the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine> method.


## Examples
 The example changes the line terminator from its default value of "\r\n" or `vbCrLf` to "\r\n\r\n" or `vbCrLf` + `vbCrLf`. It then calls the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine> and <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%29> methods to display output to the console.

## Remarks
 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

- For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as <xref:System.String.Format%2A>, <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat%2A>, and some overloads of <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A>, see [Composite Formatting](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting).

- For more information about numeric format specifiers, see [Standard Numeric Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings) and [Custom Numeric Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings).

- For more information about date and time format specifiers, see [Standard Date and Time Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings) and [Custom Date and Time Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings).

- For more information about enumeration format specifiers, see [Enumeration Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/enumeration-format-strings).

- For more information about formatting, see [Formatting Types](/dotnet/standard/base-types/formatting-types).

 For more information about the line terminator, see the Remarks section of the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A> method that takes no parameters.


## Examples
 The following example calls the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%2CSystem.Object%29> method to display five randomly generated <xref:System.Boolean> values.

 The following example calls the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%2CSystem.Object%29> method to display the current date.   Note that the format item in the `format` argument uses the "D" [standard date and time format string](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings) to display the date in the long date format of the current culture.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

## Remarks
 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

- For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as <xref:System.String.Format%2A>, <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat%2A>, and some overloads of <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A>, see [Composite Formatting](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting).

## Remarks
 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

- For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as <xref:System.String.Format%2A>, <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat%2A>, and some overloads of <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A>, see [Composite Formatting](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting).

- For more information about numeric format specifiers, see [Standard Numeric Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings) and [Custom Numeric Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings).

- For more information about date and time format specifiers, see [Standard Date and Time Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings) and [Custom Date and Time Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings).

- For more information about enumeration format specifiers, see [Enumeration Format Strings](/dotnet/standard/base-types/enumeration-format-strings).

- For more information about formatting, see [Formatting Types](/dotnet/standard/base-types/formatting-types).

 For more information about the line terminator, see the Remarks section of the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A> method that takes no parameters.


## Examples
 The following example demonstrates the standard formatting specifiers for numbers, dates, and enumerations.

 The following example is a tip calculator that calculates an 18% tip and uses the <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%2A> method to display the amount of the original charge, the amount of the tip, and the total amount. The example is a console application that requires the user to supply the amount of the original charge as a command-line parameter.

## Remarks

> [!NOTE]
>  This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%2CSystem.Object%5B%5D%29?displayProperty=nameWithType>. The C# and Visual Basic compilers automatically resolve a call to this method as a call to <xref:System.Console.WriteLine%28System.String%2CSystem.Object%5B%5D%29?displayProperty=nameWithType>.

 This method uses the [composite formatting feature](/dotnet/standard/base-types/composite-formatting) of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

 The `format` parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

 The syntax of a format item is `{`*index*[`,`*alignment*][`:`*formatString*]`}`, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.
