Get a TextWriter for the console

Question

I am using CsvHelper, which uses a TextWriter to write its output. Instead of writing to a file, I would like to write the contents to the console. How can I get a TextWriter that will write to the console?

Answer 1

Use the Console.Out property to get the TextWriter for the console, like so:

var textWriter = Console.Out;

using (var csvWriter = new CsvWriter(textWriter))
{
    csvWriter.WriteRecords(records);
    textWriter.Flush();
}
