Debug.WriteLine in c# 2005 Express

[AKA COOPERMAN]

As C# express only creates RELEASE builds, how do I get my Debug.WriteLine statements to work ?

Use Trace instead of Debug.
BTW, are you sure that it creates only release builds?

I believe this works as follows:

If you use the "Build" pulldown menu item you just get an executable in the
bin/Release directory. However, if you use the Debug/Start (F5), you will
get an executable built in the /bin/Debug directory (which you could then
execute on its own, outside the debugger). I did not try, but would expect
in that module your Debug.WriteLine statements would be honored.

Hi Aka,

Yeah, I also agree. I can't see the message printed out at Output window. Maybe it is still beta 1, the feature is not up yet.

Thanks for raising this issue. Or else i won't even realize it. Cool!

I've just verified the above and a debug build is created.

Niether my Debug.WriteLine or my Trace.WriteLine calls get output to the OUTPUT window.
