From .Net Framework 2.0 and beyond, you can change the buffer height from within your own program with Console.BufferHeight:

Console.BufferHeight = Int16.MaxValue - 1; // ***** Alters the BufferHeight *****
List myList = new List();
for (int x = 0; x < 100000; x++) 
    myList.Add(x.ToString()); 
foreach (string s in myList) { 
    Console.WriteLine(s); 
}

The maximum height is Int16.MaxValue - 1.
