Show Progress bar in console application c#

In this post we are going to see how to show the progress bar in console application c#. For that we have to set the cursor in the console application to move in to position , then we have to set the background color .

Source code:
***********

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Uploading inprogress....");

            Console.WriteLine();

            for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)

            {

                ShowProgressBar( i, 100);

                Thread.Sleep(500);

            }

            Console.Read();

        }

        private static void ShowProgressBar(int progress, int total)

        {

            //draw empty progress bar

            Console.CursorLeft = 0;

            Console.Write("[");

            Console.CursorLeft = 32;

            Console.Write("]");

            Console.CursorLeft = 1;

            float oneunit = 30.0f / total;

            //draw progress

            int position = 1;

            for (int i = 0; i < oneunit * progress; i++)

            {

                Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;

                Console.CursorLeft = position++;

                Console.Write(" ");

            }

            //draw strip bar

            for (int i = position; i <= 31; i++)

            {

                Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;

                Console.CursorLeft = position++;

                Console.Write(" ");

            }

            //draw totals

            Console.CursorLeft = 35;

            Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Black;

            Console.Write(progress.ToString() + " of " + total.ToString() + "    ");

        }

Draw a image in console window and save that as jpeg using graphics in c#

In this post we are going to see how to draw a image in console window and save that as jpeg using graphics in c#.

here we are going to draw a rectangle, line and a string in console screen as well as save that as image. For console we have to get the handle of window to draw, then get the graphics for that, to save as image get the graphics from bitmap

Source code For print in Console:

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]

public static extern IntPtr GetDC(IntPtr hWnd);

static void DrawInConsoleFromGraphics()

        {

            Process process = Process.GetCurrentProcess();

            Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(GetDC(process.MainWindowHandle));

            // Create pen.

            Pen bluePen = new Pen(Color.Blue, 3);

            // Create rectangle.

            Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 200);

            // Draw rectangle to screen.

            g.DrawRectangle(bluePen, rect);

            g.DrawLine(new Pen(Color.Red, 2), new Point(100, 100), new Point(0, 0));

            g.DrawString("Welcome to Dotnetvisio.blogspot.com", new Font("Arial", 14), 

                          new SolidBrush(Color.Orange), new Point(10, 300));

            g.Save();

        }

Source code For save as Image

static void DrawJpegImageFromGraphics()

        {

            // Create bitmap

            using (Bitmap newImage = new Bitmap(400, 400))

            {

                // Crop and resize the image.               

                using (Graphics graphic = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))

                {

                    // Create pen.

                    Pen bluePen = new Pen(Color.Blue, 3);

                    // Create rectangle.

                    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 200);

                    // Crop and resize the image.

                    graphic.DrawRectangle(bluePen, rect);

         graphic.DrawLine(new Pen(Color.Red, 2), new Point(100, 100), new Point(0, 0));

         graphic.DrawString("Welcome to Dotnetvisio.blogspot.com", new Font("Arial", 14), 

                       new SolidBrush(Color.Orange), new Point(10, 300));

                }

         newImage.Save(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "ImageFromGraphics.jpg", 

                             ImageFormat.Jpeg);

            }

        }
