If you want to display something in the output window, you can try the
System.Diagnost ics.Debug.Write Line() method. I think the Console.WriteLi ne()
method is meant for Console applications (not Windows.Forms), althought it
works on my machine.

Is your test app. a Console or Windows.Forms application?

What kind of application are you writing? Windows Forms or command line?

Console.WriteLi ne outputs text to the command line when you are running a
Command Line (DOS like) program.

If you want to only output to the Output window within the IDE, Try:

Debug.WriteLine or
Trace.WriteLine

(Both are defined in the System.Diagnost ics namespace)

Only use these for debugging puroses. If you are writing a command line
console app, use Console.WriteLi ne instead.

Hope This helps,

Trev.

Use 'Debug.WriteLin e' instead. Or create a project of type "Console
Application" (you can change the type of an application after creating
it in the project properties).

What's the type of the project? Are you sure 'Sub Main' is selected as
startup object in the project properties?
