Your console app won't accept input when running inside MonoDevelop because MonoDevelop's console doesn't accept input. (Or at least that has been my experience.) The solution is to run your program on an external console. There is a setting for this in MonoDevelop. Go to Project options -> Run -> General -> Run on external console.

It is only visible on the forums and most people do not use them. Your question is pretty open ended. If you are going to ask a question like this, it is usually best to include some of your code so people can see what is going on. What happens when you instead run your application from the command-line? -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/serious-noob-here-tp3162488p3163429.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
