And thus, I'm trying to write a function, or group of functions in C that can alternate between two screen buffers, and write them to the screen, similar to wha...

Ok, i'm well and truly stumped here. I've written extension methods before, and never had any problems. However, i've never had to use them in Console Apps. The following code won't compile and I have no idea why! I created a simple console app to try it out and it just won't work: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using ...
I have a .NET service. I have a .NET console application. I want something along the lines of the service calling Process.Start("consoleapp.exe") and getting some information returned back from the app, ideally just returning a number. How do I do this? Edit: I figure it must be: Process.Start("myapp.exe").ExitCode - but how do I se...
I have a rather large solution in VS 2008. It contains 3 web applications and a console application as well as numerous class library projects. I've set the console application as the startup project, but when I debug (using F5) Visual Studio launches development web servers for all three of the web projects. My question is why, and c...
I have two console apps, Query and Update, that share some functionality. I wanted to have the two classes inherit from a common base class, but the problem is that, for a console app, I have to have a static Main function. What I currently have is the following: namespace Utils { public class ConsoleBase { protected c...
In c# you can return an integer to the underlying caller using Environment.Exit(n) (which can be tested, for instance, using the ERRORLEVEL variable from a DOS script).

I'm curious to seeing any variations to the co...

Hi All, Should be a quick and easy question. Does System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage() or Image.Save() by default make an image background transparent? I had to use System.Drawing.Bitmap to adjust image resolutions and now all of the converted images have a transparent background. Futher details: We are using ImageMagick to do the bas...
How can you set a default input value in a .net console app? Here is some make-believe code: Console.Write("Enter weekly cost: "); string input = Console.ReadLine("135"); // 135 is the default. The user can change or press enter to accept decimal weeklyCost = decimal.Parse(input); Of course, I don't expect it to be this simple. I am ...
I'm working with one WCF service which will be consuming records I queue up for it with another. Service A will package up an object containing a series of records (I guess an XML document, haven't nailed down the format yet) queried from a database, and submit it to Service B for processing. Service B is on a separate department's sys...
Hi there. I'm currently trying to get the output of an executable console-app into an other one. To be exact, a little overview of what I'm trying to do: I have one executable which I cannot edit and neither see it's code. It writes some (quite a bunch to be honest) lines into the console when executed. Now I want to write another exe...
