C# | How to change the CursorTop of the Console

Given the normal Console in C#, the task is to change the CursorTop of the Console.

Approach: This can be done using the CursorTop property in the Console class of the System package in C#. This changes the vertical position of the Cursor. Basically, it gets or sets the row position of the cursor within the buffer area.

Program 1: Getting the value of CursorTop

// C# program to illustrate the 
// Console.CursorTop Property 
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Text; 
using System.Threading.Tasks; 
  
namespace GFG { 
  
class Program { 
  
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Get the CursorTop position 
        Console.WriteLine("Current CursorTop position: {0}", 
                                         Console.CursorTop); 
  
        // Get the CursorTop position 
        Console.Write("Current CursorTop position: {0};", 
                                      Console.CursorTop); 
  
        Console.WriteLine(" and now :{0}", 
                       Console.CursorTop); 
    } 
} 
} 

Output:

Program 2: Setting the value of CursorTop

// C# program to illustrate the 
// Console.CursorTop Property 
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Text; 
using System.Threading.Tasks; 
  
namespace GFG { 
  
class Program { 
  
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Get the CursorTop position 
        Console.WriteLine("Current CursorTop position: {0}", 
                                         Console.CursorTop); 
  
        // Set the CursorTop position 
        Console.CursorTop = 10; 
  
        // Get the CursorTop position 
        Console.Write("Current CursorTop position: {0};", 
                                      Console.CursorTop); 
    } 
} 
}
