VisualStudio: no debug output

Question

I\'m trying to debug a C# application. The method:

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(\"something\");

should do the work, but in the Output

Answer 1

You need to explicitly add the system's Console as a TraceListener in order for the output to appear in the console. According to Microsoft's documentation, this code should do the trick. This is C# code, but the link I provided contains examples for the other .NET languages.

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
       Debug.Listeners.Add(new TextWriterTraceListener(Console.Out));
       Debug.AutoFlush = true;
       Debug.Indent();
       Debug.WriteLine("Entering Main");
       Console.WriteLine("Hello World.");
       Debug.WriteLine("Exiting Main"); 
       Debug.Unindent();
    }
}
