In a console application, how can I specify the color of the text when I do
a System.WriteLine() method? This is assuming of course that the output is
the console.

Thanks for any help.

There are new API in .NET2
Llok in the System.Console class documentation.
What about Console.ForegroundColor ?

Module Module1
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Test White on Black")
Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Blue
Console.WriteLine("Test White on Blue")
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow
Console.WriteLine("Test Yellow on Blue")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module

Nah ... that is too easy. Real men use API (as is being done
when setting those two properties) :)

So much stuff in the framework. So much still left out.
Hard to keep up.
