Console.Readline Issue

Question

After providing the first input I have to press enter twice. What am I doing wrong in my code:

public static void Ifcondition()
{            
    string answer,value1;
    Console.Clear();
    Console.WriteLine("Would you like to enter your Name");
    answer = Console.ReadLine();             
    if (answer == "Yes")
    {               
        Console.WriteLine("Great!!! - Please enter your Name:");
        value1 = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Have a Great Day - {0}", value1);                
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Bye!!!");
    }
    Console.ReadKey();
}

Where exactly do you have to press enter twice? Before `Great!!! - Please enter your Name:` shows up? — Tobberoth, Nov 14 '13 at 13:09
Your code is working fine for me. show us the code where you are calling Ifcondition — Microsoft DN, Nov 14 '13 at 13:11
Cannot repro - works fine here; have you perhaps done anything like `ReadKey` *before* this method? — Marc Gravell, Nov 14 '13 at 13:11
You forgot `Console.Write("Press any key to continue");` before the ReadKey() call. Which avoids the user being confounded about what to do next. As well as you. — Hans Passant, Nov 14 '13 at 13:26
Hi Marc, yes I am calling this function after taking one console menut input from user through "ReadKey", so if user persses the menu option "C: IfCondition" then this mentioned function gets called. — Ashish, Nov 14 '13 at 14:10

In your code:

    public static void Ifcondition()
    {            
        string answer,value1;
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("Would you like to enter your Name");
   1     answer = Console.ReadLine();             
        if (answer == "Yes")
        {               
            Console.WriteLine("Great!!! - Please enter your Name:");
   2        value1 = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Have a Great Day - {0}", value1);                
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Bye!!!");
        }
   3     Console.ReadKey()};

You have 3 spots that require user action. After (1), if the answer=="Yes", logic would go to (2) and ask for input then falls to (3) and ask for input again. If the answer is not =="Yes", it falls to (3). Move (3) after "have a great day" message.
