C# Console.WriteLine Method

[Craig321]

Hi,

I've got the following method:

        public void OutputSuccess(string Message)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
            Console.WriteLine(Message);
            Console.ResetColor()
        }

Is there any way I can use it like this?

OutputSuccess("Successfully downloaded {0}", File)

Obviously the above gives an error as it thinks I'm trying to pass File to the method as well.

I'm new to C# so forgive me if this is stupidly easy

Thanks.

Figured out you can use String.Format like this:

OutputSuccess(String.Format(Successfully downloaded {0}", File))

Is there any way to avoid this? It'd be nice just to use OutputSuccess() rather than OutputSuccess(String.Format())

Thanks

        public void OutputSuccess(string Message, params object[] Args)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format(Message, Args));
            Console.ResetColor();
        }

        public void OutputSuccess(string Message, params object[] Args)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format(Message, Args));
            Console.ResetColor();
        }

The String.Format is not needed here, as you can see here there is an overload of Console.WriteLine which performs the equivalent of String.Format so you can change your code to

        public void OutputSuccess(string Message, params object[] Args)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
            Console.WriteLine(Message, Args);
            Console.ResetColor();
        }

But nonetheless, great job on finding a solution!
