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

Approach: This can be done using the WindowWidth property in the Console class of the System package in C#. The WindowWidth refers to the Width of the console window measured in columns.

Program 1: Getting the value of WindowWidth




// C# program to illustrate the
// Console.WindowWidth 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 WindowWidth
        Console.WriteLine("Current WindowWidth: {0}",
                                Console.WindowWidth);
    }
}
}


Output:

Program 2: Setting the value of WindowWidth




// C# program to illustrate the
// Console.WindowWidth 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 WindowWidth
        Console.WriteLine("Current WindowWidth: {0}",
                                Console.WindowWidth);
  
        // Set the WindowWidth
        Console.WindowWidth = 150;
  
        // Get the WindowWidth
        Console.Write("Current WindowWidth: {0}",
                            Console.WindowWidth);
    }
}
}


Output:
