Console.Write Method (String, Object, Object, Object, Object, ...)
Writes the text representation of the specified objects and variable-length parameter list to the standard output stream using the specified format information.
This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is Write. Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
C# does not support methods that use variable length arguments (varargs).
The compiler automatically resolves calls to this method to the same method that uses a parameter array.
Parameters
- format
- Type: System.String
A composite format string (see Remarks).
- arg0
- Type: System.Object
The first object to write using format.
- arg1

The second object to write using format.
- arg2
- Type: System.Object

This method uses the composite formatting feature of the .NET Framework to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.
The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.
The syntax of a format item is {index[,alignment][:formatString]}, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.
The .NET Framework provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.
For more information about the composite formatting feature supported by methods such as Format, AppendFormat, and some overloads of WriteLine, see Composite Formatting.
For more information about numeric format specifiers, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.
For more information about date and time format specifiers, see Standard Date and Time Format Strings and Custom Date and Time Format Strings.
For more information about enumeration format specifiers, see Enumeration Format Strings.

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: UI. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
This method is marked with the vararg keyword, which means that it supports a variable number of parameters. The method can be called from Visual C++, but it cannot be called from C# or Visual Basic code. The C# and Visual Basic compilers resolve calls to Write(String, Object, Object, Object, Object) as calls to Write(String, Object[]).

The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
