VS 2017: when you wonder why your Console.Writexxxx do nothing
-
Try this: [^]. Been a while since I actually came up with a solution on my ownsome I had not seen on CP or StackO'Flow. That does mean, of course, that you should treat the hack like the arrival of an unexpected package post-marked Chernobyl. cheers, Bill

Console.WriteLine[^] has never written to the Output window (which is a trace listener), it writes to the console instead. What you are doing is just System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine[^] which is no different to earlier versions.

You are incorrect: this is an issue, an annoying disruption of long-standing behavior by VS. See my reply to Duncan Jones here for a link to a statement by a VS Team Member acknowledging the issue. In VS WinForms (old, and new) there is a specific window named 'Output, and that's where the Console output goes when running in Debug mode ... unless you have changed the VS UI of that window, or the Project settings compiler directives, or, your code re-directs standard out. I may be half-blind now, but I don't make these things uo :)

If the DEBUG compile time constant is not set, that won't do anything though?
Hi Duncan, In the "stock" VS2017 WinForm app I am using, both DEBUG and TRACE are checked in Project/Properties/Build. And, Console.WriteXXX does nothing. Evidently, this is a "feature." On February 21, a VS Team Member wrote: [^]

I've had a quick look at the sourcecode [^] and it appears that there is a registry key that (I kid you not) is called ConsoleSpewToDebugger - maybe try setting that?

Wow, I can't afford the HazMat Suit necessary to mess with that one :)

Sorry, I was only trying to tell that the author has written wtite and not write on the subject. I guess that my super-English and the lack of the joke icon has made it... Anyway, he should improve the title. :thumbsup:

Well, gosh, why should you leave helpful feedback on the content where it is posted ... when you can increase the static on the Lounge, and revel in someone else making a mistake typing ?

I don't care what they say about you - I like your Dragon avatar.* * My being born in a Dragon year doesn't have too much to do with that, I think

Hi, Balboos, that avatar (photo by me, manipulated in Photohop) is the ground-level stucco/cement finial of a decorative stairway leading into the Dhamma Hall at Wat Buppharam in Chiang Mai. Usually these stairway decorations are makara, a chimeric creature, a composite of creatures, often a mix of sea/river-land-air creatures. Usually the creature at the end of the makara will be some form of Naga (water serpent, Thai: phayanaak). The style of this one does appear to be a Chinese dragon. Here's a photo (not by me) in context: [^] While the origins of Wat Buppharam date to 1497CE, this decorative sculpture, and the building it connects to, are certainly from the modern era. cheers, Bill

Oops Bill, I thought I was telling it to you at the beginning... and then I did not remember to post it again... X| My fault.

Way random question here, but did you used to live in the Seattle area, circa 2000? I used to work in a company with a Bill Woodruff who was supposed to move to Thailand (I believe... it was somewhere very Eastern). Pretty crazy if you are him. Pretty crazy if not in any case, LOL. FWIW I happened across your profile while reading a comment in an article about Sprache: Sprache.Calc: building yet another expression evaluator[^]
