VB.NET - extended console library
I just made this a while ago to use for one of my programs. I'd posted it in the VB.net section but I thought it's good to post it here also. The code isn't 100% mine... I used some C# projects and some old vb6 projects and converted them to vb.net.... sorry cant remember what and which parts though 
I'm copy pasting this from this post in the vb.net section:
Lets you:
-change the foreground or background color of the text
-change the background color of the console (call SetCLSColor, and then the Clear function)
-Change or read the title of the console
-clear a console window
-change the input mode of the console (call SetMode - whether it should read the input line by line, or to read every key stroke one by one)
-move the cursor to any random position
-enable/disable showing what the user types in the console ( call EchoInput )
-get the size of the console window (number of columns and rows)
-get the current position of the cursor
-change the cursor type (the carret)
-close the console whenever you want (FreeConsole() )
-create a console by calling this class
There are two classes, one is just a helper class to call the windows api functions, the other is the console class. I'll post them as separate posts since the code is long.
-see next 2 posts for code.
-see 3rd post for a sample.
See the sample project if you want to know how to use this class library. (Remember that you have to add a reference to ConsoleEx.dll to your project before you can use it!)
Extended console - source code: class library project
Extended console - dll file only
