anything happening in the output window when I debug,

there are also no error messages,

Has anybody a tip on what I may be doing wrong,

If you want to display something in the output window, you can try the
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine() method. I think the Console.WriteLine()
method is meant for Console applications (not Windows.Forms), althought it
works on my machine.

Is your test app. a Console or Windows.Forms application?

What kind of application are you writing? Windows Forms or command line?

Console.WriteLine outputs text to the command line when you are running a
Command Line (DOS like) program.

If you want to only output to the Output window within the IDE, Try:

Debug.WriteLine or
Trace.WriteLine

(Both are defined in the System.Diagnostics namespace)

Only use these for debugging puroses. If you are writing a command line
console app, use Console.WriteLine instead.

Hope This helps,

Trev.

Use 'Debug.WriteLine' instead. Or create a project of type "Console
Application" (you can change the type of an application after creating
it in the project properties).

The Module1 code looks as follows, I have tried changing to debug but to
no avail,

Sub Main()


Dim myCar As SportsCar
myCar = New SportsCar()

'Set the horesepower and weight too..

myCar.HorsePower = 240
myCar.weight = 1085

'report the details...
Console.WriteLine("Horsepower:" & myCar.HorsePower)
Console.WriteLine("Weight" & myCar.weight)




'report the number of doors...
Console.WriteLine("The number of doors is:")
Console.WriteLine(mycar.Numberofdoors)

'try and change number of doors to 1000
mycar.Numberofdoors = 1000

'report the number of doors
Console.WriteLine("The number of doors is:")
Console.WriteLine(mycar.Numberofdoors)

'try change number of doors to 2
mycar.Numberofdoors = 2

'report the number of doors
Console.WriteLine("The number of doors is:")
Console.WriteLine(mycar.Numberofdoors)

'Report the speed
Console.WriteLine("The cars speed is:")
Console.WriteLine(mycar.Speed)

'accelerate
mycar.accelerate(5)

'Report the new speed
Console.WriteLine("The Car's speed is Now:")
Console.WriteLine(mycar.Speed)


'set the color property to "Red" ...
mycar.color = "Red"

Console.WriteLine("My car is this color:")
Console.WriteLine(mycar.color)

'Display the details of the car...
DisplayCardetails(mycar)

'Wait...
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub


'Displaycardetails - function that displays a car details...
Function DisplayCardetails(ByVal myCar As Car)

'display the details of the car...
Console.WriteLine("Color:" & myCar.Color)
Console.WriteLine("Number of doors:" & mycar.numberofdoors)
Console.WriteLine("Current speed:" & myCar.Speed)
Console.WriteLine()

End Function
End Module

What's the type of the project? Are you sure 'Sub Main' is selected as
startup object in the project properties?
