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

Sorted

        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

Cool, thank you
