How do I fix this ArgumentNullException in int.Parse?

This is the .cs file runs fine in Mono:

using System;

public class HelloWorld
{
    static public void Main ()
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Enter a number");

    int UserNumber = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

    Console.WriteLine("Your number is: " + UserNumber);
    }
}

I opened this Test.cs file in Xamarin, which worked properly. Then I choose 'Run' > 'Start Without Debugging' and these errors pop up in the display panel:

Enter a number

I am not sure what the problem here is. Could it be to do with this line?

int UserNumber = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

Read the stack trace, it says the method of Parse was passed a parameter of null, but it cannot be null. Try splitting the read line and the parsing, and then making sure the line is not null or empty.

public class HelloWorld
{
    static public void Main ()
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Enter a number");
    String input = Console.ReadLine();
    int UserNumber = 0;
    if(input != null && input != "")
    {
        UserNumber = int.Parse(input);
    }

    Console.WriteLine("Your number is: " + UserNumber);
    }
}

Splitting up code like this makes it easier to read and easier to debug.

I bet you're using a C# -> Mac -> Xamarin.Mac project. By default, these programs don't use an interactive console, which you're trying to use when you call Console.ReadLine().

Try creating a new solution; pick C# -> Console Project instead to have the interactive console working.
