AnsiViewer - GUI ANSI file presentation

The TerminalControl class makes it easy to render and display the so-called ANSI files.

This sample demonstrates:

• Using TerminalControl class.
• Writing a text with escape sequences to the terminal screen.
• Resizing the terminal screen.

Sample files are included in the project.

// open the ANSI file for reading
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader("ANSI_file.ans"))
{
    // read the whole file to the string
    string data = reader.ReadToEnd();

    // write the data to the terminal screen
    terminalControl.Screen.Write(data);
}

Dim reader As StreamReader = Nothing
Try
    ' open the ANSI file for reading
    reader = New StreamReader("ANSI_file.ans")

    ' read the whole file to the string
    Dim data As String = reader.ReadToEnd()

    ' write the data to the terminal screen
    terminalControl.Screen.Write(data)
Finally
    ' close the stream reader
    If Not reader Is Nothing Then reader.Close()
End Try
