Debug output from managed app

[Guest]

We will soon be working with a CE 5.0 managed app using CF 2.0 on a headless
X86 platform and wonder what is equivalent to RETAILMSG, DEBUGMSG and/or
OutputDebugString. I have looked in VS2005 on-line help and not found
anything.

DEBUGMSG: System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine
RETAILMSG: System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine

Also, you can call NKDbgPrintfw from managed code. Use the following
P/Invoke declaration in C#:

[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint = "NKDbgPrintfW")]
private static extern void DEBUGMSG(string message);

Not true. They won't go out the debug serial port using the Diagnostices
stuff.

We also have ReleaseMessage and DebugMessage int the Smart Device Framework.

Very true, but if you are connected to the device over Ethernet, they write
to the output window in Visual Studio, which is rather nice.
