[Resolved] [2.0] System.Diagnostics.Debug

[Arrow_Raider]

I am using visual c# epress edition. I want to use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine method to write some values durring runtime so I can monitor the values. I have the build type set on debug, but when I run my application, the code doesn't output anything to the immediate window like it should. Do you guys have any ideas on what could be wrong?

I don't have the express edition, but I imagine it would be the same...

Debug statements are written to the output window, not the immediate window. Choose Debug | Windows | Output to show the output window.

Nope, they don't appear there either. I have the professional edition at work and the debug statements output to the immediate window there.

Odd. My debug statements definately go to the output window. You're running by hitting F5 right? and not shift-F5?

There's also an option under Tools | Options | Debugging you can check - it reads "Redirect all Output Window text to the immediate Window". Mine isn't checked - guessing yours is at work.

But if it's not going to either window, not sure where it's going, unless you starting without debugging.

Well i'm not sure where it was going before, but when I turned on that option you mentioned, it is displayed in the immediate window now. Thanks for your help.
