If for whatever reason you'd like to catch the output of Console.WriteLine, you CAN do this:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var writer = new LogWriter();
    Console.SetOut(writer);
}

public class LogWriter : TextWriter
{
    public override void WriteLine(string value)
    {
        //do whatever with value
    }

    public override Encoding Encoding
    {
        get { return Encoding.Default; }
    }
}
