  System.Console Class
 
 Description
The Console class provides basic support for applications that read characters from, and write characters to, the console. No error is thrown if the console does not exist (in a Windows application for example).
 
There are 3 streams associated with the Console :
 
1. Standard Input
 
The text that the user types in response to text read requests on the console are captured by this stream.
 
2. Standard Output
 
Normal text is written to this stream and normally displayed on the console.
 
3. Error stream
 
Error text is written to this stream and normally displayed on the console.
 
However, you can route the streams away from the console to files, for example. This is the normal practice for service applications written as console applications.
 
The Console class is not inheritable.
