(Console.BufferHeight) I can't see/scroll to see all the console output with Console.WriteLine

.net, c#, console.writeline

Solution

From .Net Framework 2.0 and beyond, you can change the buffer height from within your own program with Console.BufferHeight:

Console.BufferHeight = Int16.MaxValue - 1; // ***** Alters the BufferHeight *****
List<string> myList = new List<string>();
for (int x = 0; x < 100000; x++) 
    myList.Add(x.ToString()); 
foreach (string s in myList) { 
    Console.WriteLine(s); 
}

The maximum height is Int16.MaxValue - 1.

Problem

When I run this code, the number at the top of the output window is 99701. Why don't I get to see all the way through 1? I actually see all the numbers getting outputted, but on the console window, I can only SCROLL high enough to see 99701 (I'm guessing). I'm using Visual C# express on Vista Home. :D ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; using utilities; namespace Testing_Project { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List<string> myList = new List<string>(); for (int x = 0; x < 100000; x++) myList.Add( x.ToString() ); foreach (string s in myList) { Console.WriteLine(s); } Console.Read(); } } } ``` Console.Write(s) does fine, but Console.Write( s+"\n") does not. I'm guessing I can only scroll up through so many newlines?
