I have a C# 3.5 console app with many WriteLine calls. I want to add a
startup argument to make all WriteLines write to "nul" so the app can
run silently at my option. I don't want to clutter the code with a lot
of if statements around the WriteLines or etc. There should be some
way to just declare what the "console" is, right?

Thanks.

Console.SetOut can change the TextWriter stream.

Just spell your argument ">nul".

Yes, you could use System.Console.SetOut(System.IO.TextWriter.Null),
but why reinvent this wheel?
