Console.ReadLine() max length?

by

An issue with stack72’s answer is that if the code is used in a batch-script the input is no longer line buffered. I found an alternative version at averagecoder.net that keeps the ReadLine call. Note that StreamReader also must have a length argument, since it has a fixed buffer as well.

byte[] inputBuffer = new byte[1024]; 
Stream inputStream = Console.OpenStandardInput(inputBuffer.Length);
Console.SetIn(new StreamReader(inputStream, Console.InputEncoding, false, inputBuffer.Length));
string strInput = Console.ReadLine();
