Redirecting console to a string in a .NET program

Question

How can I redirect whatever is written to the console to be written into a string?

Answer 1

string consoleString = Console.ReadLine();

Answer 2

Use Console.SetOut ();

Answer 3

For your own process, Console.SetOut and redirect it to a TextWriter built on top of a string builder or memory stream. For a launched child process, use ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput when launching the process.
