Make a shortcut for Console.WriteLine()

Question

I have to type Console.WriteLine() many times in my code. Is it possible to create a shortcut for Console.WriteLine so that I can use it like...

CW=Console.Wr         


        

Answer 1

// For formatting string and parameters define a function
// The shortcut function wl, kind of write line
public void wl( string format, params object[] parms){
    Console.WriteLine(format, parms);
}

// Just for strings we can use Action delegate
Action ws = Console.WriteLine;

// examples:
ws("String with no formatting parameters");

wl("String without formatting parameters");
wl("String with {0} parameters {1}", 2, "included");
wl("several parameters {0} {1} {2} repeated {0}", 1234, 5678, 6543);

or using extension method: formatString.wl(arguments...)

public static class ConsoleWriteExtensions
{
    public static void wl(this string format, params object[] parms){
        Console.WriteLine(format, parms);
    }
}

"{0} -> {1}".wl("Mili",123.45); // prints Mili -> 123.45
