C# - Writing to output window of Visual Studio

c++debuggingvisual-studiovisual-studio-2010

I am trying to write a message to the output window for debugging purposes. I searched for a function like Java's system.out.println(""). I tried Debug.Write, Console.Write, and Trace.Write. It does not give an error, but it does not print anything either.

"Define DEBUG constant" and "Define TRACE constant" options are checked.

Menu Tools → Options → Debugging → "Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" option is not checked.

Configuration: Active (Debug)

Note: I created a project with the wizard as "Windows Forms Application" if relevant. I have no idea where to look.

Add the System.Diagnostics namespace, and then you can use Debug.WriteLine() to quickly print a message to the output window of the IDE. For more details, please refer to these:
