Write boldface text using Console.WriteLine (C#) or printfn (F#)?

Question

Is there a quick way to write boldface text using Console.WriteLine (C#) or printfn (F#)?

If not boldface, perhaps some other kind of visual differentiator, like underlined text?

Answer 1

You can set the Console.ForegroundColor. Click the link, there is a very good example provided in the MSDN.

Fonts and Styles are not available on a per-word basis. To get bold, italics, underline or size, you would have to change all text in the Console.

Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
Console.WriteLine("Test Text");

Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Blue;
Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
Console.WriteLine("Test Text 2");

Console.ResetColor(); // To return colors back
