Hi
in a Console C# program, is there any method which can send the cursor to a point in console window? for example

System.foo.gotoxy(10,20);

System.Console.Write("hello);

will write hello in row 10, column 20?

I think he meant the console user interface cursor, not the graphical user interface mouse cursor.

hi
thanks
using IDE Code Completion
I found this:

Console.SetCursorPosition(5,10);

It works.

@CommittedCoder: But it is a good resource, I think; I didn't even know that C# programs can import Win32 API functions.

Now I wonder about memory management for some of them - for example, the WriteFile () function requires a pointer to a buffer, along with the size of the buffer; not sure about how C# handles strings and buffers.

Good catch.

For the Win32 APIs? Not sure, I don't work with API very much, sorry. :/
