Q: 

how can I view Console Output whilst my Unit Tests are running in Visual Studio 2008?

Hi,

How can I view Console Output whilst my Unit Tests are running? I'm using the Visual Studio 2008 unit testing framework. So I know that after a test is finished I can go to the results page for the test and click on output, however I'm after a way that I can effectively watch the console output for tests as the unit tests are executed.

EDIT - Interested in a specific answer for VS out of the box (i.e. without having to buy a plugin)

+1  A: 

Use a TDD plug in like ReSharper orTestDriven.net

I'll have a look thanks - is the idea that it would still be using the MS unit test framework?

Yes, TestDriven suports MSTest out of the box, and ReSharper may also..if not there is a plug in for it.

BTW know if my question navy be solve within VS without having to buy a plugin

Not sure, if it does it would only be for MSTest, check whatever built in runner VS has. We use NUnit so a plug in is a must. BTW, I cant live without ReSharper. Its for more than just unit testing. I highly recommend it
