Hi folks,

I have seen few video tutorials for C# programming. In that I noticed that they are not using Console.Readline() to pause the console screen and the application is running through Command prompt. I am using Visual Studio Express 2013, how I can do the same ?. I know this is not important anyway please help me on this.

Who restricted you to write Console.Readline()?
Debugging is something different, check these articles-

Hi sorry, my question is little confusing. I just want to pause the console screen without using Console.Readline() or break points. As I told I just want to know how to use command prompt window for printing console outputs.
And I seen that in almost all tutorials.

Solution 1

Following are the ways you can view the console screen without using Console.Read(), Console.ReadLine() or Console.ReadKey().

1. Instead hitting F5 key or clicking Start in Visual Studio, press CTRL + F5. This will keep the output window open.
2. Sleep thread for few seconds.

C#

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000); //this will make the control to wait for 5 seconds

Hope, it helps :)
