Directing Console.Out and Console.Error to a Textbox

I have a set of libraries that do processing output to Console.Out, and
Console.Error.

How do I direct that output to a Textbox on a Windows form in CSharp?

Thanks in advance!

For this you can route the In, Out, and Error objects used by the
console to your own objects. To do this simply use the Console.SetIn,
Console.SetOut, and Console.SetErro r equal to your object. SetIn will
accept a text reader while SetOut and SetError take text writers. Once
you've captured the output you can do what you'd like with it. Hope that
helps.

Have A Better One!

Just a note. The std output can and will stall your process if the std out
fills the stdout stream - which is not a lot of output (maybe a screen
full). So you may need a seperate thread to read process.stdout into your
own output stream until process done.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a textbox console, like the Immediate textbox in Visual Studio (any), in which I can map I/O streams such that a class library built for a console app (re System.Console) can interact with the user in the textbox? Thanks, Jon

But, I want is that I can have a Main app that will start a new process or kill one particular or all process. The process will open a console exe. But, I don't want the user to close the console windows by themselves, and force them to use the Main app. If I use Windows Services, I'm not sure can I create one dynamically, and then kill easily. But, if using console application, my following coding is working now. using System;

In general the program is GUI based. However sometimes I would like to wirte some text lines to Console as if it is a Console program. When I write a System.ConsoleWriteLine() statement this is accepted without error (during build and runtime). Unfortunately no Cosole pops up at runtime and showing the text. I assume I have to enable the Console resp. make it visible and let it popup when necessary.

Some people tryed to help in my previous post. But I don't quite have it. What I want to do is send stdout to something on a form textbox, panel, listbox -- something. I want to write to a form the same way you would write to a console using console.write(), except I want to send that output to something on a form. Is this possible?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
