Console.WriteLine does not appear to work

[Rob]

I am reading a VB.net book which includes many samples where the author uses
the Console.Writeline feature to illustrate a point. I assume that is
Console.Writeline is supposed to send something to the Display. Any reason
why that may not work on my system ?

Thanks !

Maybe it's not a console application?

Yes, in order to do this you have to be a console app. However, you can get
the same effect using Debug.Writeline, which will write to the output window
if you are running in Visual Studio. Otherwise, make yourself a floating
window, stick a multiline text box onto it and append your output to it's
text (with a crlf at the end).

Make sure your project is a Console Application. You can change the project
type in the project's properties dialog.
