Hi,
This is getting on my nerves:
It shows two options, if the user chooses the 1st, it should print "Name -> " and wait for user input... however, it prints "Name -> " and exits the application... why??? whats missing??
Its been a while since i've done console apps...
Thanks

Change the line:
Console.Read()
to:
Console.ReadLine()
and make 'op' a string.
The reason for the behaviour you are seeing is this:
When a user enters text into the console, it is usually nor processed unless he presses enter (CR/LF). Console.Read() however, reads only one character and leaves the rest in the read buffer. The next ReadLine reads the rest of the buffer, which already contains a CR/LF and therefor does not wait for further input.
Hope that helps!
