Mono Develop problem with ReadLine() plz HELP!

[Eremis]

Hi!

I just started programing in C# (used java before), and I am having a problem with a simple program that takes in a string, and then does a few tests with it (if statements). Well mono just skips the ReadLine() part.....

Here's the code:


#region Using directives

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

#endregion

namespace ContinueBreak
{
class ContinueBreak
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string signal = "O"; // initialize to neutral
while (signal != "X") // X indicates stop
{
Console.Write("Enter a signal: ");
signal = Console.ReadLine();

// do some work here, no matter what signal you
// recive

Console.WriteLine("Received: {0}", signal);
if (signal == "A")
{
// faulty - abort signal processing
// Log the problem and abort.
Console.WriteLine("Fault! Abort\n");
break;
}

if (signal == "O")
{
// normal traffic condition
// log and continue on
Console.WriteLine("All is well.\n");
continue;
}

// Problem. Take action and then log the problem
// and then continue on

Console.WriteLine("{0} -- raise alarm!\n", signal);
} // end while
} // end main
} // end class
} // end namespace


I attached a screenshot of the output...
For some reason it goes into a infinite loop, and i have to stop it manually in the Mono IDE. :confused:

Any feedback will be helpful!

-- Thanks!

Monodevelop's console doesn't handle input, see http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/monodevelop-list/2008-June/007880.html.
