Help with custom C# cosmos OS

[requimrar]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and would like to ask a question relating to C#. I am trying to make my custom OS, and shutting it down, but I am encountering a problem. Here is what I have so far:

using System;
using Cosmos.Compiler.Builder;

namespace CosmosBoot1
{
    class Program
    {
        #region Cosmos Builder logic
        // Most users wont touch this. This will call the Cosmos Build tool
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BuildUI.Run();
        }
        #endregion

        // Main entry point of the kernel
        public static void Init()
        {
            var xBoot = new Cosmos.Sys.Boot();
            xBoot.Execute();
            Console.WriteLine("XCube V0.01");
            Console.WriteLine("Type help for help");
            while (true)
            {
                string command = Console.ReadLine();
                switch (command)
                {
                    case "shutdown":
                        {
                            goto shutdown;
                            break;
                        }

                    case "help":
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("shutdown---Shuts down XCube");
                            Console.WriteLine("manual---Displays XCube manual");
                            Console.WriteLine("help---Displays help");
                            Console.WriteLine("reboot---Reboots XCube");
                            break;
                        }

                    case "manual":
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Note: In Virtual Machines, the shutdown command simply hangs the machine, and does not close the window.");
                            break;
                        }


                    case "reboot":
                        {
                            Cosmos.Sys.Deboot.Reboot();
                            break;
                        }
                    default:
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("No such command");
                            command = null;
                            break;
                        }


                }
            }
        }
    }
}

When I type in "shutdown", nothing happens and I can continue using other commands. When I type in "reboot" however, the input method freezes and I can no longer input any command, but my Virtual Machine does not reboot and instead shows a blinking cursor where I left off. I think this would be in the right forum, I'm not sure. Anyone HELP!!! Thanks in advance.

Hi requimrar, welcome here!
Line 31 of your code: Don't go to a label, call your ShutDown method here. A goto is something that is rarely needed in modern programming.

Thanks for your help, but here is where the problem comes in. It compiles perfectly when I do it, but when I type in "shutdown" it does not do anything. Similarly, when I type in "reboot", the cursor blinks rapidly and I cannot type in any commands, so in other words it hangs. Could you help me out there? Thanks.

PS. It is developed in Cosmos.

[ddanbe]

Show the code where Line 31 leads to.

[requimrar]

well line 31 leads to a label that is at the end of the function Init() , which is supposed to end this. anyways I dumpd the idea so problem solved.

You should do it old Mac OS Style. You should just do:

Console.WriteLine("The system can now be powered down safely.");
Cosmos.Sys.Deboot.Shutdown();
