Select Console Application and Name the Project

You should see the following Code in the project

 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
 
namespace ConsoleRead
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
        }
    }
}

Add the following code to make our new project similar to the HelloWorld porject

 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
 
namespace ConsoleRead
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.Write("Hello");
        }
    }
}

To build the project Select

or

You should a black console window flash on the screen and really quicly display the word 'Hello'

Add the following lina after the Console.Write Line

 
Console.Write("Hello");
 
            //Pause and wait for the user to press a key
            Console.ReadKey();

 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
 
namespace ConsoleRead
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string strName;     //Declare a string object
            
            Console.Write("What is your name? ");
            strName = Console.ReadLine();   //set strName value equal to what the user typed
            
            Console.Write("Hello " + strName);
 
            //Pause and wait for the user to press a key
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

The final output should look like this

What is your name? Jeff
