Loading Animation in c# Console

Question

hi Friends ,
is there any function in c# wich animate a loading Sequenz ?? If Not is it possible to do it in a tricky way??

Answer 1

Hi Korhall,

try to use a timer in combination with a plain text like "Loading " and printed dots ('.'):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Threading; // mandatory for timer

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

Console.Write("Loading ");
// Create instance of timer ticking every 1000 ms
Timer t = new Timer(TimerCallback, null, 0, 1000);
// Wait for the user to hit <Enter>
Console.ReadLine();
t = null; // Timer destroyed

}
// callback function for timer, which prints the dots
static void TimerCallback(Object o) => Console.Write(".");
}
}

Hi Korhall,

sorry, it has to be

t.dispose();

example:
Console.Write("Loading ");
Timer t = new Timer(TimerCallback, null, 0, 1000);
// Wait for the user to hit <Enter>
Console.ReadLine();
t.Dispose();
Console.WriteLine("Timer disposed!");
Console.ReadLine();
