Console.Readline - Newbie

[hisheeraz]

Hello
i have this confussion here with the Console.ReadLIne i am trying to read keyboard and then displaying the keyboard entry to the console.

first line is working fine as it has been re written from a book but when i try to implement the other way (Line3) then i am getting error. i was wondering that if there is any other way of reading line from the input buffer.

i remember in c++ i was doing something like

{
cout >> "enter signal: ";
cin << signal; // where signal is a string

is there something similar to that in C# that i can read the string entered in the above way

{
Line1     Console.WriteLine("Enter some Signal: ");
Line2     //Signal = Console.ReadLine();
     // th above code is working without any problem
     // if i remove the '//' of the second line but when
     // i try to convert the second line of code 
     // to then third line of code then the problem occures 
     // and i get error
Line3     Console.ReadLine(Signal);

     Console.WriteLine("You entered: {0}\n", Signal);
}

I think i have made it clear enough to understand still if there is any confussion then please dono hesitate to ask question.

The read line function has no version that takes any parameters. Console.ReadLine(Signal); will fail to compile. What is wrong with Signal = Console.ReadLine(); anyway?

no wrong with that just thinking if there could be a better way...or perhaps it is a better way...i just had to quit my c++ habit
cheers!
