Where does Console.WriteLine go in Debug?

Question

I found this question, but what I want to know is different - does the output from Console.WriteLine go anywhere when debugging? I know that for it to go to the output windo

Answer 1

The best solution for me was to change Console.WriteLine() to System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(). For example:

 catch (DbEntityValidationException dbEx)
 {
    foreach (var validationErrors in dbEx.EntityValidationErrors)
    {
       foreach (var validationError in validationErrors.ValidationErrors)
       {
          System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Property: {0} Error: {1}", validationError.PropertyName, validationError.ErrorMessage);
       }
    }

Then you can view your errors as an object in the output window.
