SharePoint Console Output

Question

I made a class library, and put it in GAC. It has one C# code file, and I put a Console.WriteLine() statement in. When I run the Feature, where would I see the output from this statement?

Answer 1

Use

• System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine()

or

• System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine() (Will only output text if assembly compiled in debug mode)

to output some text. You would then see it in a program like DebugView.

But the best way to debug the program (if you ask this question regarding to debugging) i recommend attachking to SharePoint with Visual Studio debugger. Some debugging tips here.
