Using Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express [2.0.50215]
With XP Pro

Console.Clear() ;
used as per the the sample at

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/209kyy3d(en-us,vs.80).aspx

is throwing an exception :
System.IO.IOExc eption was unhandled

Source="mscorli b"
StackTrace:

Please post Beta2 questions to the VS2005 Beta forum
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ , these forums are meant to support
customers for the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 release and are replacing the
private whidbey NG's.

That said , the sample you are refering to works for me, I guess you run a
modified version.
