RE: Output Window

OK, that is probably it. I'm studying for Microsoft Exam and it instructs me
to create a console applicaiton for each Exercise, but I'm justing doing all
of it in one Windows Applicaiton instead to build on common project with all
my examples to review.

I suspect I should probably be using the Debug statement instead, right?

Thanks.

I have used the Console.Clear method, but it gives me a "The Handle is
Invalid" error message. It doesn't appear in my ERROR window, so I'm not
understanding why this won't work. Any suggestions? I am using like in the
following lines of code.

Public Sub DirFiles()
Dim ourDir As System.IO.DirectoryInfo = New
System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\VBTEST")
Console.Clear()
Console.WriteLine("Directory: {0}", ourDir.FullName)
Dim myFile As System.IO.FileInfo
For Each myFile In ourDir.GetFiles
Console.WriteLine("File: {0}", myFile.FullName)
Next myFile
Console.WriteLine("Root: {0}", ourDir.Root)
End Sub

Do you see anything wrong that would cause the Console.Clear method not to
work?

Thanks, Greg

Greg,
In this hello world console application, clear function clears "hello world"
line properly. Then you must look at your code again:

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("hello world")
Console.Clear()
' Pause
Console.ReadLine()

End Sub

End Module

HTH,

I am using the following command to output my results to the Output window
(for testing things out).

Console.WriteLine ("Output")

I'd like to clear the Output window of any previous output. I tried

Console.Clear

but, this results in an error.

Is there a way to clear previous output text in the Output Window?
