How to disable every text input in a console application

Question

my question is how to disable fully the input for a console application.

Its for a TCP Server and i dont want to enter somethinks in the console.

at the moment i have:

for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++){
    Console.ReadKey(true);
}

But this not working really good ( Must wait of press enter 500 times and then the application can be continue ).

Sorry for my bad english, hope someone can help me.

In this example Console.ReadKey(true) will itercept the pressed key and wont display the user's input

class Writer
{
    public void WriteLine(string myText)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < myText.Length; i++)
        {
            if (Console.KeyAvailable && Console.ReadKey(true).Key == ConsoleKey.Enter)
            {
                Console.Write(myText.Substring(i, myText.Length - i));
                break;
            }
            Console.Write(myText[i]);
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(pauseTime);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("");
    }
}
