Hi
what are the C# equivalents of the C++ functions: _getch and kbhit ?

_getch and kbhit can be used in Console Applications. kbhit returns true if a key is pressed and the queue is nonempty. _getch gets the character contained in the queue and empties it out of the queue.

If you're working with Console applications then it would be:

Console.Read();

Console.ReadKey();

Console.ReadLine();

[irancplusplus]

ok this code:

char ch = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar;

works like _getch(). But how about kbhit?
kbhit returns true only if there are any characters in statndard input queue.

I found something like this on the web:

Sometimes people want a way to use a kbhit() like function in C# at the Console.

while( true )

{

  if( Console.KeyAvailable ) // since .NET 2.0

  {

    char c = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar ;

    Console.Write( c );

  }

}

Is it what you're looking for? If not please explain your question one more time :D

Exactly.
Thanks.
