Not enough storage is available for `Console.ReadLine`.` - memory

Question

I am using a dual service/console model to test a service of mine. The code in the spotlight is:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Seems important to use the same service instance, regardless of debug or runtime.
var service = new HostService();
service.EventLog.EntryWritten += EventLogEntryWritten;
if (Environment.UserInteractive)
{
service.OnStart(args);
Console.WriteLine("Host Service is running. Press any key to terminate.");
Console.ReadLine();
service.OnStop();
}
else
{
var servicesToRun = new ServiceBase[] { service };
Run(servicesToRun);
}
}
When I run the app under the debugger, using F5, on the line Console.ReadLine(); I get a System.IO.IOException, with "Not enough storage is available to process this command."
The only purpose of the ReadLine is to wait until someone presses a key to end the app, so I can't imagine where the data is coming from that needs so much storage.

Answer 1

This is a service, and its output is likely set to Windows Application, change the output to Console Application and this should go away.

Answer 2

I having the same problem, I found the setting under project properties but I am creating a windows application so I can not change the application type.
This is the code I use.
Dim t As Task = New Task(AddressOf DownloadPageAsync)
t.Start()
Console.WriteLine("Downloading page...")
Console.ReadLine()
Async Sub DownloadPageAsync()
Using client As HttpClient = New HttpClient()
Using response As HttpResponseMessage = Await client.GetAsync(page)
Using content As HttpContent = response.Content
' Get contents of page as a String.
Dim result As String = Await content.ReadAsStringAsync()
' If data exists, print a substring.
If result IsNot Nothing And result.Length > 50 Then
Console.WriteLine(result.Substring(0, 50) + "...")
End If
End Using
End Using
End Using
End Sub
