A ConsoleSpinner in C# (you know the typical |/-\|/-\ kind of thing)

ConsoleSpinner.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace HttpClientAsyncTest
{
	public class ConsoleSpinner
	{
	    int pos;
	    List<string> items;
	    
	    public ConsoleSpinner(List<string> items)
	    {
	    	this.items = items;
	    	this.pos = -1;
	    }
	
	    private void ClearAndReposition(int length)
	    {
	    	for(int i=0; i<length; i++)
	    	{
	    		Console.Write("\b \b"); //move back, remove by writing ' ', move back again
	    	}
	    }
	    
	    public void WriteNext()
	    {
	    	if (this.pos != -1)
	    		this.ClearAndReposition(this.items[this.pos].Length);
	    	
	    	if (++this.pos >= this.items.Count)
	    		this.pos = 0;
	    	
	    	Console.Write(this.items[this.pos]);
	    }
	}
}
