Console.WriteLine does not show up in Output window

Question

I have put some Console.WriteLine calls in to test, but they aren\'t appearing in the output box?

public static ArrayList myDeliveries = new Arr         


        

Answer 1

If you want Console.WriteLine("example text") output to show up in the Debug Output window, temporarily change the Output type of your Application from Console Application to Windows Application.

From menus choose Project + Properties, and navigate to Output type: drop down, change to Windows Application then run your application

Of course you should change it back for building a console application intended to run outside of the IDE.

(tested with Visual Studio 2008 and 2010, expect it should work in latter versions too)
