What do you mean by refresh?

sreenathpktr 20-Oct-11 3:00am

Thank you..I fixed my problem without the refreshing.

Why do you want to restart the application ? Can you not just restart the functionality?

No - a Console application does not have an Application object in teh same way that a Windows one does.
You can duplicate the effect though:

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    while (RunMyApp(args))
        {
        }
    }
static bool RunMyApp(string[] args)
    {
    ...
    return true;   // Restart
    ...
    return false;  // End program
    }

Well you can clear the screen.

Try with

Console.Clear();

method.

UPDATE:

after seeing other peoples replay maybe I got a question wrong.
Check this example:

C#

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.Clear();

            bool done = false;
            while (!done)
            {
                ShowMenu();

                ConsoleKeyInfo keyHit = Console.ReadKey(true);

                Console.Clear();

                switch (keyHit.KeyChar)
                {
                    case '1':
                        SimpleArraySort();
                        break;
                    case '2':
                        SimpleListSort();
                        break;
                    case '5':
                        PerformanceTest();
                        break;
                    case '9':
                        done = true;
                        break;
                    default:
                        Console.WriteLine("Please enter a valid option. \r\n");
                        continue;
                }
            }
        }
     }

Cheers

Console output is limited if you want to see what is going on the easiest and best option is to redirect the output to a file and view that in notepad etc.

c:\> consoleapp.exe > log.txt
