I've been trying to work on a program that renders text into a certain area on the command line. I have no idea how to do this. Basically, the user is going to choose a width and a height. I was wanting to use that data to put the text in a certain area of the screen. If you know how to do this please tell me.

You can pick where the next Console.Write command writes to, by setting the cursor position via the Console.SetCursorPosition method.

How can I make my Canvas.Settop command look like the image is moving there instead of just teleporting to it? I wan't to make it look like its just moving there. This is what I currently have: Canvas.SetTop(MarioCharacter, 454);
And I've also tried this: WPF. Easiest way to move Image to (X,Y) programmatically? but this did not really end up working too great for me since it teleports the image to a random location and then just slides the image to its end point from there.
TL;DR: I need it so that the Canvas.Settop function looks like as if it would move the image to its end point.

I'm creating one of my first projects in visual studio code, and my game has a lot of text in it. I wanna know how to clear the terminal when the player goes into the next "level", so they don't see all the text fill up the screen from before.[What I want to clear while running the program] 1
You can use Console.Clear() method
You can use Console.SetCursorPosition(Int32, Int32) to set Cursor to 0,0 and redraw it without screen blink.
If you want simple clear Console.Clear() does the job, but it will take time to redraw Console again.

What I need to do seems simple enough but I can't seem to find a good way to do it. My app reads text off of a document but sometimes gets it wrong. Users are allowed to change the text in a verification step. What I need to know is how many characters changed, including case.
For example,
Original value: i23 MAin St
Value changed to: 123 Main Street
The number of characters changed in this instance would be 6. I then need to capture this value in a variable for later use. Is there a good way to do this in c#?

I recently posted this question but didn't get any response on it:
Need help opening 2 windows explorer windows to two different spots
I still would like any help that can be given in this case. One thing that I thought might have been confusing about my previous post is that both of the examples I noted were using SetWindowPos. I really don't care about the method used to solve this problem only that A) it uses c# and B) that it meets the desired criteria as posted in my previous post. Please, if there is further clarification needed please ask me. Thanks!
Use a mouse. Click the corner of the window and drag it until it is the desired size.

I am trying to create points inside a console window based on a 80x49 grid. But I am getting stuck on the basic idea.
My thought was to first of all print out spaces on the entire page so that later, when my method Draw() is called, it replaces a space with a character of choosing.
Keep in mind that the application should be able to print out new points on the same "canvas" again and again. Say that we first print a * at 4,5 and then a * at 4,7 . I am guessing SetCursorPos wouldn't work?
Yes, Console.SetCursorPosition is what you should use.
