[C# .NET] Empty void always prints a newline.

[WillLTT]

So i made a simple VS19 console app (.net framework), added nothing to

static void Main(string[] args) {}

But somehow the it still manages to print a newline. i simply want it to just not print a newline.

 

Video showing the problem in way more detail.

When you press enter the program executes and does nothing - at this point your cursor is already on the new line - then the program exists and the shell generates a new prompt. You can't avoid that, it's just the way the shell works.

Well that kind of sucks.

May I ask, what are you trying to achieve by having a program "without" the new line?  There might be other solutions to what your goal is

my program has a -silent parameter, and it want it to completly dead silent, no extra newline

Well it still should behave like that...

 

Try [program] -silent >output.txt

That will show exactly what the program is outputting.  The thing is, if you run it in command prompt and such like that; the act of calling it generates a line.  If you were to lets say call the program using [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4291912/process-start-how-to-get-the-output] you should be getting nothing (I think...not quite sure about c#, but just tried on c++ and it works)
