Does Console.Write() work in Compact Framework?

[brett]

When I do Console.Write("something here") or WriteLine() on the Compact
Framework, nothing appears in the output window. I have also tried it
on another developer's machine with the same results. The Docs say
this is supported in the Compact Framework. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brett

See the thread linked below (from the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework archives).

Where exactly is dev/null as described in the above link, "It will go
to the device console, but Pocket PCs don't have a Console, so the
output goes to /dev/null... "

I did a search under files/folders for dev/null but didn't get any
results.

IMO, the best thing to do is to just download and install Pocket Console.

Will installing the 3rd party console allow Console.Write() to output
to the VS.NET output window?

Thanks,
Brett

IIRC, no, the output will go to the console on the device only.

If you need to see output in the output window, although I haven't tried any
solutions out there, here are some resources that might get you started...
