The Almighty C# Console Mode
Author
ErrrR grumble grumble.. C# has crapy console more classes.
Is any good function that checks to see if there has been a key pressed? Or that checks to see if any keypresses are in the buffer?
The function must not block if there is no keypresses.
I don't thnik I can use windows.froms events to keypresses, becouse it's a console app there are no controls to capture it on.
Any help?

I used Visual C# Express Beta on a friends computer(thus using C# 2.0 and the .NET Framework 2.0 beta). The 2.0 version of the .NET framework has a lot of nice functions for console support. Colors, etc. Although to use it you'll have to wait until 2.0 is release final before you distribute your app. I don't have the beta's install on my computer because I have visual studio 2003 and everything working good and I don't want to mess it up somehow.
