Hi, I'm a rookie about C# and im starting developing some Basic Console
Aplications, but i was just wondering if  there's a way to center a message
when using the "Console.WriteLine("");" command, lets say i want the message
to appear centered when running the program. Thank you so much! ;)

Not built in (AFAIK) - but you can just pad it manually:

       static void Main()
       {
           WriteLineCentered("foo {0}", "bar");
       }
       static void WriteLineCentered(string format, params object[]
args)
       {
           string value = string.Format(format, args);
           int padding = (Console.WindowWidth - value.Length) / 2;
           if (padding > 0)
           {
               Console.Write(new string(' ',padding));
           }
           Console.WriteLine(value);
       }

Hi,

Not really, you see int he console you can only isntruct to display a
text, but you have no control of how to do it. I'm not aware of any
library that allows you to control and format the console.
