How to use ReadKey() method of Console class in C#?
Console.ReadKey(); is for the VS.NET Users. This makes the program wait for a key press and it prevents the screen from running and closing quickly when the program is launched from Visual Studio .NET.
A common use of the ReadKey() method is that you can halt the program execution. This could be done until a key is pressed by the user.
Let us see an example −
Example
using System; public class Demo { public static void Main() { DateTime date = DateTime.Now; TimeZoneInfo timeZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local; Console.WriteLine("Time Zone = {0}
", timeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(date) ? timeZone.DaylightName : timeZone.StandardName); Console.Write(" to exit... "); while (Console.ReadKey().Key != ConsoleKey.Enter) {} } }
Output
Time Zone = UTC <Enter> to exit...
