Sets the height and width of the screen buffer area to the specified values.

public:
 static void SetBufferSize(int width, int height);

[System.Runtime.Versioning.SupportedOSPlatform("windows")]
public static void SetBufferSize (int width, int height);

public static void SetBufferSize (int width, int height);

[<System.Runtime.Versioning.SupportedOSPlatform("windows")>]
static member SetBufferSize : int * int -> unit

static member SetBufferSize : int * int -> unit

Public Shared Sub SetBufferSize (width As Integer, height As Integer)

Parameters

width: Int32

The width of the buffer area measured in columns.

height: Int32

The height of the buffer area measured in rows.

Attributes: SupportedOSPlatformAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

height or width is less than or equal to zero.

-or-

height or width is greater than or equal to Int16.MaxValue.

-or-

width is less than WindowLeft + WindowWidth.

-or-

height is less than WindowTop + WindowHeight.

SecurityException

The user does not have permission to perform this action.

IOException

An I/O error occurred.

PlatformNotSupportedException

The current operating system is not Windows.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the WindowLeft, WindowTop, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, BufferWidth, BufferHeight, and CursorVisible properties; and the SetWindowPosition, SetBufferSize, and ReadKey methods. The example draws a grid pattern in the screen buffer based on the screen buffer width. Then the example moves the console window in response to which of the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, or RIGHT ARROW console keys is pressed. The grid pattern helps you see the movement of the console window relative to the screen buffer.
