Answer 1

Console.Read() only returns the first character of what was typed. You should be using Console.ReadLine():

Example:

int suppliedInt;

Console.WriteLine("Please enter a number greater than zero");
Int32.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out suppliedInt);

if (suppliedInt > 0) {
    Console.WriteLine("You entered: " + suppliedInt);
}
else {
    Console.WriteLine("You entered an invalid number. Press any key to exit");
}

Console.ReadLine();
