Writing C# debug output to .txt file

Question

I\'m running code on a microcontroller with .NET Micro Framework, and I want my debug output to write to a text file. How does this work?

Answer 1

You will have to do something like this:

// Set up listener
string filename = @"C:\listener.txt";
FileStream traceLog = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
TextWriterTraceListener listener = new TextWriterTraceListener(traceLog);

// Output to listener
listener.WriteLine("Trace message here");

// Flush any open output before termination.
// Maybe in an override of Form.OnClosed.
listener.Flush();

Taken from here.
