System.Console. WriteLine question

[newsgroupie]

Hi Newsgroupies,

I'm writing a Web Forms program using C# (VS.NET 2003) and trying to
monitor it whilst running using "System.Console .WriteLine(<par ams>)" but
can't for the life of me find where it outputs too.

Am I thick or just unlucky?

Please help!

Ps: Back in the good old days we had something called "TRACE" ;-)

How do I do the C# equivalent of the MFC code...

int iNumber = 34;

TRACE("The answer is %04d\n", iNumber);

"The answer is 0034"

....i.e. pad the number out with leading spaces? What do I have to add to
this in C#...

System.Diagnost ics.Trace.Write Line( String.Format( "{0}",
iNumber.ToStrin g() ) );

Thanks again,

Newsgroupie

Hi Newsgroupies!

Thanks for all your help but what I really want to do is something like
we could do in the good old days with MFC, ie...

TRACE("The function returned %d\n", iReturnValue);

...And be able to see this in the output window.

I appreciate that .Debug & .Trace do a similar thing in C# but without
arguments as above.

So call String.Format yourself:

String.Forma t ("The function returned {0}", returnValue);

and pass that in as the single argument.

Use String.Format ("{0:d4}", iNumber)
