Writing to output window of Visual Studio

Question

I am trying to write a message to the output window for debugging purposes. I searched for a function like Java\'s system.out.println(\"\"). I tried Debug

Answer 1

The call

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("message");

fails when working with .NET Core (V 1.0 or 1.1).

We are supposed to create and use a logger from Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, but that log only appears in the dotnet.exe popup console window, not in Visual Studio's Output window.
