Console.WriteLine in Windows form application

[Dennis C. Drumm]

I've noticed that using Console.WriteLine statements to debug a Windows
Forms Application will sometimes write output to the VS 2005 Output window
and sometimes it doesn't. I know that Debug.WriteLine will always write to
the Output window, but the syntax for Console.WriteLine is more convenient
to use.

What is happening here and why does it work sometimes and not at others?

Thanks,

Dennis

For debugging purposes and on Windows Forms you should really always use
Debug.WriteLine

Thanks for the responses to all,

I knew from the documentation that Debug.Writline was the correct choice for
a Windows Form application, but I was just curious why the Console.Writeline
worked in some cases and not others.

Its not a real important issue, so lets drop it.

Thanks again,

Dennis
