C# | How to change BufferWidth of the Console

Last Updated : 28 Jan, 2019

Given the normal Console in C#, the task is to find the default value of Buffer Width and change it to something else.

Buffer Width refers to the current width of the buffer area of the console in columns.

Approach: This can be done using the Buffer Width property in the Console class of the System package in C#.

Program 1: Finding the default Buffer Width

// C# program to demonstrate the  
// Console.BufferWidth Property 
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Text; 
using System.Threading.Tasks; 
  
namespace GFG { 
  
class Program { 
  
    // Main Method 
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Display current Buffer Width 
        Console.WriteLine("Default Buffer Width: {0}", 
                                Console.BufferWidth); 
    } 
} 
} 

Output:

Program 2: Changing the Buffer Width to 100

// C# program to demonstrate the  
// Console.BufferWidth Property 
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Text; 
using System.Threading.Tasks; 
  
namespace GFG { 
  
class Program { 
  
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Display current Buffer Width 
        Console.WriteLine("Default Buffer Width: {0}", 
                                 Console.BufferWidth); 
  
        // Set the Buffer Width to 100 
        Console.BufferWidth = 100; 
  
        // Display current Buffer Width 
        Console.WriteLine("Changed Buffer Width: {0}", 
                                 Console.BufferWidth); 
    } 
} 
}
