To read some text from the command line you use the Console.Read or Console.ReadLine method implemented in the .net framework. The difference between them is that the Console.Read method reads the next character from the command line, whereas Console.ReadLine reads the next line of characters instead of just a simple character. The Console.Read method returns an integer and should be cast to a char during the input. There is also a special function called Console.ReadKey( Boolean display) which obtains the key that is pressed on the keyboard and if the display parameter is false it depicts it.
