After making console applications with microsoft visual studio 2010, I am unable to select the data written (using the

Console.Out.Write()

)... Is there any way to enable this?

you are trying to directly highlight and copy from the console window?
If you are, right click and select 'Mark'. Then you are able to highlight a block of text. Pressing enter will allow you to copy.

What? you were able to select text with the console.out.write command? Are you sure it wasn't read?

I have to wonder about this... Your application WROTE the data. Why would you then need to highlight and copy it? You already have the data in your objects: You wrote it. You can then programmatically paste it to the clipboard.

I did use read, as I don't know how to keep the console from disappearing otherwise... In c++, I used system("pause") I believe. Is there any equivalent in C#?

Well there's running it FROM a console.

then there's break points... or just telling the debugger to break also works.

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

I've only begun reading over the class, but the examples in the clipboard class seem to only use text boxes/buttons. Am I able to use the class without these?

The

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

isn't working for me. My main method, as of now, is only

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            long Sum = primer(50) + fib(50) + oddCount(1, 50, 1);

            Console.Out.WriteLine(Sum);
            System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
        }

. I only have 3 lines, and I still can't get it to do what I desire.. this is particularly frustrating...

Yes. It doesn't matter where the data comes from. They are just getting the data from the textbox. You can use whatever variable you like.

Thanks a lot, I'll be sure to read the class over.
