Overview
The System.Console component is a fundamental part of .NET Core applications. It provides a flexible and efficient way to manage console output, including logging, debugging, and interaction with the user. It handles the generation and handling of console output, enabling applications to provide user feedback and debugging information.
Key Features
- Logging: Allows for recording events and errors within the console.
- Debugging: Provides tools to examine the console's state during development.
- User Interaction: Allows sending commands to the console (e.g., `Console.WriteLine`).
- Event Handling: Handles events such as `ConsoleEvent.Start`, `ConsoleEvent.Stop`, and `ConsoleEvent.Write`.
- Template Support: Supports creating custom console output templates.
- Asynchronous Support: Handles asynchronous console output.
Example - Simple Console Output
Here's a very basic example demonstrating console output:
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
Console.WriteLine("This is a simple console output.");
Console.WriteLine("Another line.");
