Is there Output window in C# 2010 Express? I don't see it in the View menu.

+6  A: 

Ctrl+W,O

It is on the menu in expert mode; Tools => Settings => Expert Settings.

In reality most of the useful options are in expert mode; I can't think of a sane reason to use basic mode, nor why it is the default (instead perhaps of asking me "Have you ever programmed before?")

Apologies for potential spam, but what's the markup for producing the "keyboard key" effect?

Ctrl + W, O will open the Output window if it's available.

Sort of related, because this thread was my first Google hit:

I found the Output window in VS 2010 Express, but after loading my Windows Phone 7 application it won't show me anything from Console.WriteLine() or Debug.WriteLine(). Only things like

'taskhost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'System.dll'

I am very sure that the Output lines are actually executed, because I see the effects of some other lines in the same method on the GUI.

So, does anybody know where my Output is going?

//Edit: I use the Windows Phone Developer Kit, in case it's an important information.
