Capturing Console Output....

[Scott Meddows]

I have a group of objects that I want to be able to echo information (Console.writeline in the NEw(), Add(), etc). The objects will
be used in a service and in my test application (Winform).

Would it be best to capture the std output and echo the information there? And if I did this, HOW do I do it? Any good articles
on this? Would just raising events be better (Kinda would prefer to not do this)?

Thanks
Scott

Scott, you may want to look into the System.Diagnostics.TraceListner
class. Using tacelistners, you can provide debug infromation to
serveral different sources, or even provide custom listners. You can
also turn them on and off at runtime using config file settings...

Hi,

Use the process class to do that.
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo

Dim p As Process

pi.RedirectStandardOutput = True

pi.FileName = "c:\myconsoleapp.exe"

pi.UseShellExecute = False

Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\MyOutPut.txt")

p = Process.Start(pi)

sw.WriteLine(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd)

p.WaitForExit()

sw.Close()
