Diagnostics.Debug not working :-(

[gvanto]

I am trying to output stuff from my program to the output window and have followed the simple instructions given by numerous sites: using System.Diagnostics; namespace myapp { class MyApp { static void Main(string[] args]) { Debug.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } } } When I do View -> Output Window (in Visual Studio), I get the output window but Hello World does not appear ?? Am i Doing something wrong ?? Help much appreciated! Regards Gerry Debug newbie Meet New People - Its Free! http://www.twoggle.com

Try using Console.WriteLine(...);

Are you building a "Debug" build or a "Release" build. You can tell by looking at the toolbar in Visual Studio (assuming you haven't customized any of the toolbars, it's the "Standard" toolbar) and looking at the "Solution Configuration" dropdown. If it doesn't say "Debug", then your output will not dispaly as that line won't even be compiled in to the code.

you must run your project with debug config mode by pressing F5 or click on play button
