(Console.BufferHeight) I can't see/scroll to see all the console output with Console.WriteLine










11















When I run this code, the number at the top of the output window is 99701. Why don't I get to see all the way through 1? I actually see all the numbers getting outputted, but on the console window, I can only SCROLL high enough to see 99701 (I'm guessing). I'm using Visual C# express on Vista Home. :D



using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using utilities;

namespace Testing_Project
class Program
static void Main(string args)
List<string> myList = new List<string>();

for (int x = 0; x < 100000; x++)
myList.Add( x.ToString() );
foreach (string s in myList)
Console.WriteLine(s);


Console.Read();





Console.Write(s) does fine, but Console.Write( s+"n") does not. I'm guessing I can only scroll up through so many newlines?

From .Net Framework 2.0 and beyond, you can change the buffer height from within your own program with Console.BufferHeight:




Console.BufferHeight = Int16.MaxValue - 1; // ***** Alters the BufferHeight *****
List<string> myList = new List<string>();
for (int x = 0; x < 100000; x++)
myList.Add(x.ToString());
foreach (string s in myList)
Console.WriteLine(s);



The maximum height is Int16.MaxValue - 1.

300 seems to be your default console buffer size. This is a Windows setting and it is not related to your application.

As an alternative you can use Debug.WriteLine (System.Diagnostics) and use the Output window in Visual Studio. It has a much bigger buffer (just be sure to run a Debug build).

You don't get to see anymore than that because the console does not buffer more than 300 rows by default. Use the settings dialog for the console to change this - I believe you can just start a command prompt and change them there, then run your program.

This has nothing to do with C#, but actually the output buffer in the command prompt is only 300 lines long by default. You can change that in the window settings, although maybe this is an opportunity to try implementing a "more" like feature, which breaks out of the loop every time a screenful of data is output. Then when you press a key, it outputs another screenful, etc.
