is there somebody that can fix this if statement

Question

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string name01;
    string name02;

    Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Choice RPG! <press enter to start your adventure>");
    Console.ReadKey();
    Console.WriteLine("Enter your Adventurers name! <press enter to continue>");
    name01 = Convert.ToString(Console.ReadLine());
    Console.WriteLine(name01 + "! come on, you can think of a better name than that can't you? <press enter to continue>");
    Console.ReadKey();
    Console.WriteLine("Enter your Adventurers name! <press enter to continue>");
    name02 = Convert.ToString(Console.ReadLine());

    if (name02 == name01)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Wow, i guess you really like that name huh, fine.");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Now thats more like it!");
    }
}

This is my first project with programming in general. I am making an RPG game in which you choose your adventure and this is for the user's ingame name.

Everything works up until the if statement (after that the cmd just closes). If anyone has any ideas to fix it please tell me.

after if statements the program completed the execution and don't wait for any extra actions, for that it is close. to prevent it from closing, force it to wait for a key input from the user. — Henka Programmer, May 28 '20 at 21:59
`Console.ReadLine` returns a `string`. You don't have to `Convert.ToString` it. — Rufus L, May 28 '20 at 22:09

Code looks OK to me, try adding:

Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to exit");
Console.Readline();

at the end to see if the message you want to show, actually shows before the application exits and closes. My guess is you are running in Visual Studio, and the message prints, but then the execution window closes so fast you don't see it.
