Having the output of a console application in Visual Studio instead of the console

Question

When doing a console application in Java with Eclipse, I see the output being put in a text box in the IDE itself, instead of having a console popping up like in Visual Stud

Answer 1

I know this is just another answer, but I thought I'd write something down for the new Web Developers, who might get confused about the "Change to a Windows Application" part, because I think by default an MVC application in Visual Studio 2013 defaults to an Output Type of Class Library.

My Web Application by default is set as an output type of "Class Library." You don't have to change that. All I had to do was follow the suggestions of going to Tools > Options > Debugging > Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window. I then used the System.Diagnostics.Trace suggestion by Joel Coehoorn above.
