Simple Console.ReadLine not working in ASP.NET Core project

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core project and I need to ask an input to the developer with a Console.ReadLine() at the project launch but it's not working. When the Console.ReadLine() is hit, it sends me to the local webpage that the project makes appear when the project is launched.

I already tried to create a Console Application project where I do the Console.ReadLine() and that I call in the ASP.NET project with a process.start() but it has exactly the same behavior and just sends me to the webpage, I see that the application is waiting something when Console.ReadLine is hit but I don't have the usual console to write an input.

I don't have a lot of code to show, it is a simple Console.ReadLine() and I don't have any exceptions.

Do you know how should I do to simply have a console where i can give an input in an asp core project ?

Answer 1

You simply cannot use Console.ReadLine() in an web oriented application. The fact that the Console class is available, is related to the .net framework, but not to the project type.
