No output to console from a WPF application?

Solution 1:

You can use

Trace.WriteLine("text");

This will output to the "Output" window in Visual Studio (when debugging).

make sure to have the Diagnostics assembly included:

using System.Diagnostics;

Solution 2:

Right click on the project, "Properties", "Application" tab, change "Output Type" to "Console Application", and then it will also have a console.
