How to continue without exiting...

Tash18

Hi guys.. I have developed a console application that migrates data present in xml file to my database.. my console application asks the app name from the user and based on the name entered by the user the application migrates only those records corresponding to that app name.. Now my question is after the migration is done my console application exits.. but i dont want it to exit, instead it must ask the user whether to exit if the user enters "exit" then it must exit otherwise the console application should repeat its migration process from the beginning and ask the user the app name and so on it goes... how do i implement this logic??? Thanx in advance.. Regards, Tash

bool isExit = false;
while(!isExit)
{
//ask name here...
//...

//ask exit here
Console.WriteLine("Do you want to exit ?");
string answer = Console.ReadLine();
if(answer == "exit")
{
isExit = true;
}
}

Hey there Thashif I'd use a while loop for that :) Here's an example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
bool QuitProgram = false;

        while (!QuitProgram)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Please type your name or \\"quit\\" to exit");

            string Response = Console.ReadLine();

            if (Response.ToLower() == "quit")
            {
                QuitProgram = true;
            }
            else
            {
                DoWork(Response);
            }
        }
    }

    public static void DoWork(string Response)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello {0}", Response);
    }
}

}

Hope this helps :)
